On Friday, the first time since his accession to presidency, trump acknowledged that Russia intervened in the presidential election in 2016, accusing the Obama administration of inaction.
Within a few months, trump has called the results of the investigation of the American intelligence Agency about the intervention of Russian hackers in the outcome of the election «fake», a «complete hoax» and «a defence of democracy.»
But yesterday the American President in this matter has changed dramatically.
Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2017
«The news of the day: the Obama administration was aware of the Russian intervention before the election on 8 November. And nothing was done about it. Why?»
Criticizing his predecessor, trump clearly sees the fact of intervention as an event for granted. Earlier this week, officials from the White house could not exactly say whether the President with the officials of the intelligence in this matter.
Trump stronger delved into criticism of the actions of the Obama administration in an interview in the transfer of Fox & Friends, which will air on Sunday. In this interview, he repeated that Obama «had something to do with it» — suggesting that Russia has committed acts for which it was necessary to respond.
Within a few months, trump has called news about Russian interference in the invention. Just before his inauguration, trump acknowledged that Russian hackers illegally gained access to emails of the leading representatives of the Democratic party. But even then, the President never said that it was part of an attempt to influence the election.
