Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Russian Federation to hack Hillary Clinton’s email.

These emails indicated that the party leadership supported Clinton in the primaries against her rival Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised GOP nominee Donald Trump.
The FBI said Monday they were investigating the hack.
At the Democratic convention Tuesday night, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright argued that, “The truth is that a Trump victory in November would be a gift to Vladimir Putin”.
“Unfortunately Russia is being used in the electoral campaign in the US”. Analysts from the NSA and FBI investigators found signatures in those breaches that led them to other intrusions outside the government, including at the DNC. Kean, who chaired the federal 9/11 commission, skipped this year’s Republican convention, the first time he’s done that since he became involved in politics, because he said he disagreed with Trump on too many issues. The exchange took place during a meeting of ASEAN nation foreign ministers. “And when you put those two elements together, I’d say it’s a real possibility”.
The fallout of the leaks continued to hover over this week’s events in Philadelphia. A spokesman for Putin on Tuesday called the allegation “paranoid”. “It shows how disrespected we are”, he said. After all, in his recounting of Clinton’s “extreme carelessness” in handling sensitive communications FBI Director James Comey said it was “likely” that her server was compromised. But he did point to Trump’s past positive comments about Putin. He also has downplayed his affection for Putin and said he would treat the Russian leader “firmly”, though he said he wanted to improve relations with Russia. “In fact, it’s quite disturbing if you think about the implications of a foreign country hacking into anything in the United States and then using it to interfere and interrupt the political process”. “No. It should raise some concerns among the American people”.
The embarrassing revelation prompted Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, to voice a theory on who was actually behind the leaks and hacks.
Who is responsible for leaking the emails?
Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, released a statement after the press conference that discouraged Russian involvement in a United States election. Another Russian spy agency, FSB, or an affiliate had penetrated the DNC computers last summer.

“You said, ‘I welcome them to find those 30,000 emails, ‘” Tur said before the mogul cut her off.
