President Trump accused Barack Obama of knowing about Russia's attempts to influence the presidential election and not taking action. "Well I just heard today for the first time that Obama knew about Russia a long time before the election, and he did nothing about it," Trump said in a "Fox and Friends" interview. The Washington Post published an editorial on the matter, saying the Obama administration issued warnings to Moscow about its cyber activities.
