Well now we know. Donald Trump obstructed justice and covered up up the conspiracy of Vladimir Putins personally ordered attack on our Democracy. Republicans will either stand up and bring this criminal President to justice or aid and abet the end of 242 years of self rule.Link to tweet
According to the New York Times, two weeks prior to the Presidential Inauguration in Jan. 2017, Donald Trump was shown raw evidence including data and text messages about the Russian hack and that Vladimir Putin knew about it. He has since been trying to cloud the evidence for reasons still not yet know.
The Times says Trump was shown highly classified intelligence proving Putin had personally ordered the cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election. The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.
