(New York, NY) — Intelligence officials believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in trying to influence the U.S. Presidential election.
NBC News reports two senior officials say new intelligence shows Putin directed how material hacked from Democrats was made public.
Putin’s aim reportedly began as a personal vendetta against Hillary Clinton, but became a larger effort to show corruption in the American political system.
The officials said the information comes from diplomatic sources and spies for U.S. allies.
