FBI backs CIA view that Russia intervened to help Trump win election

2016-12-16 8

FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have both reportedly agreed with the CIA's report that Russian agents hacked the November presidential election and did so to the benefit of the GOP candidate, Donald Trump, as well as to undermine public confidence in the US electoral system. President Obama, meanwhile, indicated Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin must have been aware of the cyber attacks.
