Clinton Campaign Officials Fuming Over Alleged Ties Between Trump Campaign, Russia

Current and former American officials told The New York Times in a report published Tuesday that law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russian Federation was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee.

Vyacheslav Volodin, Speaker of the Russian parliament, said that Mr Trump needed to fulfil his campaign promises on Crimea and then “everything will be OK”, according to the Times.

Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, was defiant when asked about Spicer’s comments Wednesday.

“I’ve never been asked by anyone in the FBI or any of the other agencies over the previous year”, Page said during an interview with PBS “News Hour” when asked about the investigation into Trump-world ties to Russian Federation.

He also charged that the way the Flynn information was obtained violated the law.

To the editor: USA intelligence agencies and even members of Russian intelligence agencies say Russia made significant attempts to sway the US 2016 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

Responding Tuesday to reporters’ questions about the 18-day gap between the January 26 Trump briefing and Flynn’s departure on Monday, Spicer said, “The president concluded he no longer had trust in his national security advisor”.

Trump’s not entirely wrong to complain about this (although it’s not “just like Russia”), but neither were Clinton or her supporters when leaks were spilling out of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the active phase of its probe into her e-mail system and handling of classified materials. “Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N. Korea etc?”

Trump’s concern over leaks is a departure from the view he expressed during his election campaign.

Trump also praised Flynn less than 48 hours after his resignation and tried to pin blame for his ouster on the media.

Trump was scheduled to hold a news conference at noon Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is visiting the White House.

Speaking with anchor Kate Bolduan, Mook said, “First and foremost, we’ve got to understand what these communications were between Donald Trump’s aides on the campaign and Russian intelligence officials”. His administration are a bunch of groveling loyalists, and Trump is mired in historically low approval ratings for a new US president.

Graham said continued accusations about Russian involvement with Trump “are creating a cloud over the White House”.

Schindler pointed out that “US intelligence is not the problem here”.

Moscow’s reaction came quickly after the press release.
