President Donald Trump appeared to admit that Russia had interfered in the 2016 US presidential election in a Friday night tweet in which he criticised Barack Obama for his handling of Russia's cybertattacks that were meant to swing the election away from Hillary Clinton.
“Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY,” Mr Trump tweeted.
If that wasn’t enough, Mr Trump in an interview on Fox News also said that Mr Obama knew about Russia before the election, and he did nothing about it. “The CIA gave him information on Russia a long time before they even —before the election,” he said, adding, “if he had the information, why didn’t he do something about it?”
