Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich said experts have concluded Russian Federation was behind the hacking of Democratic National Committee e-mails that were released by WikiLeaks just before the former secretary of state was to formally accept the party’s nomination.
But when all was said and done, the Russian prime minister denied all accusations that his government had anything to do with the DNC breach. “Because one of them would seem to be a lot more favorable toward you”.
The messages, including disparaging conversations about Bernie Sanders between the Democratic Party’s then chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and party officials, led to Wasserman-Schultz’s ouster as the democratic convention was just beginning.
WikiLeaks released the emails from the DNC hack, revealing that the organization had an inappropriate bias against former presidential candidate Independent Sen.
Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during a news conference after a meeting with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian (not seen) at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, August 10, 2016.
Putin said he was ready to take decisive steps to settle the dispute, though he cautioned that those steps could only be taken after careful preparation.
Putin’s denials of hacking the DNC are not credible. And they act so delicately and precisely that they can leave their mark at the necessary time and place or even not their own mark, camouflaging their activity instead as other hackers from other territories or countries. It’s an extremely hard thing to check, if it’s even possible to check. “We definitely don’t do such things at a state level”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he did not know anything about the DNC hacks, but praised their value to the public. Putin told Bloomberg Politics in an interview published Thursday.
“But I want to tell you again, I don’t know anything about it, and on a state level Russian Federation has never done this”, he added.
In concluding his speech, also heard by South Korean President Park Geun Hye, Abe called for Putin’s support in signing a postwar peace treaty and carving out a new era for Japan and Russian Federation.

Mr Putin dismissed the claim that cyberattacks on two Democratic organisations, as well as the Clinton Foundation were Russia’s doing. “One would have to “feel the nerve” and peculiarities of the U.S. domestic political life”.
