16. Washington Post: The Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirms that Russia meddled

Thu Jul 12, 2018, 06:56 AM

Jul 2018

"...The intelligence community’s assessment declared: “We assess with high confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election, the consistent goals of which were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump.”

"The new Senate report calls this a “sound intelligence product.”
