Here’s more about the claims from Russia:
The Russian government said Thursday that it maintained contact with representatives from Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns.
The assertion comes after Trump was repeatedly accused by the Clinton camp of having overly close ties to the Russian regime, connections that Trump consistently denied.
“During this entire period, we not only sent some signals through some representatives, or private messages,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday about the communications with the Trump staff.
“It was our clear position that we are ready for cooperation and working together and establishing normal relations,” she added.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also said that officials had been in contact with members of Trump’s entourage.
“I cannot say that all of them but quite a few have been staying in touch with Russian representatives,” he told the state-run Interfax news agency.Hope Hicks, a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign, flatly denied the Russian statements, telling CNN, “This is not accurate.”
I guess it doesn’t matter much now that the Putin-lover has been elected. We can look forward to America giving up more influence over global politics to Russia and other authoritarian governments. It’s really ironic that Trump supporters seem to hate Obama so much when Trump’s foreign policy is the same abrogation of responsibility under a different name.
