A month later result of US Presidential election, American intelligence agencies have found out that Russian government helped Donald J. Trump in winning the election by hacking and publishing the emails of Democratic party nominee Hillary Clinton via Wikileaks.
According to the two major US newspapers, the Washington Post and the New York Times, reported that in a “closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill last week,” intelligence agencies admitted that “it was now ‘quite clear’ that electing Trump was Russia’s goal.”
Citing an anonymous senior US official, The Washington Post reported: "It is the assessment of the intelligence community." The Post reported the CIA has reached the conclusion "that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected."
The New York Times reported that Russians hacked the computer systems belonging to both the parties, but they only published Democrats' emails via Wikileaks, while Republican emails stayed under wraps.
An unnamed senior administration official told the Times, "We now have high confidence that they hacked the DNC and the RNC, and conspicuously released no documents" on the Republicans.
The Trump's transition team fired back on both the newspapers as well as the intelligence community.
"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," the president-elect's transition team said in a statement to both papers. "The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It's now time to move on and 'Make America Great Again.'"
However, the outgoing President Barack Obama ordered a full report on cyber attacks and foreign intervention during the election before he leaves office on January 20.
