Trump: Obama, Clapper, ‘the Whole Group You See on TV,’ Knew About Meddling, Did Nothing

‘They buried it because they thought that Hillary Clinton was going to win’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "As you know, President Obama was given information just prior to the election, the last election, 2016, and they decided not to do anything about it. The reason they decided that was pretty obvious to all they thought Hillary Clinton was going to win the election. And they didn’t think it was a big deal. When I won the election they thought it was a big deal, and all of a sudden they went into action, but it was a little bit late. So it was given that in sharp contrast to the way it should be. And President Obama along with Brennan, and Clapper, and the whole group that you see on television now, probably getting paid a whole lot of money by the networks, they knew about Russia's attempt to interfere in the election in September, and they totally buried it. And as I said they buried it because they thought that Hillary Clinton was going to win; turned out it didn’t happen that way. By contrast, my administration is taking a very firm stance -- it's a very firm stance on a strong action. We’re going to take strong action to secure our election systems and the process.”
