Donald Trump has snaped back at Hillary Clinton's election loss claims
The failed Presidential candidate said Trump’s campaign could have “guided” the Russians after they hacked emails from the Democratic party.
Clinton alleged that the President and his team could have helped the Kremlin to “weaponize that information” and get him into the White House.
Speaking at the Recode tech conference in Silicon Valley she also described Trump as having a “visceral grasp on America’s political underbelly.”
She said: “The Russians in my opinion - and based on intelligence and counterintelligence people I have spoken to - could not have known best how to weaponize that information unless they had been guided by a specific group of people. Guided by Americans."
Asked who those individuals might be, Clinton said: “We’re getting more information about all of the contacts between Trump campaign officials and Trump associates with Russians before, during and after the election.”
Pressed as to who she meant, she said: “I’m leaning Trump. I think it’s pretty hard not to.”
