Warner: ‘Very Reckless’ for Trump to Claim Obama Wiretapped Him Without Evidence

‘since the inaugural, we have seen the resignation of the national security adviser and recusal of the attorney general because of contacts with Russians’

EXCERPT:

WARNER: "Well, John, let’s step back for a moment and look at what we do know. We know that we have seen an unprecedented attack by a foreign adversary, Russia, in terms of meddling in our election. We saw before the election a thousand Internet trolls trying to use and place false information.

We saw manipulation of certain algorithms, so that if you Googled certain items, you got Russia news, R.T. News, other false news. We saw the selective hacking into DNC and individuals that then tried to leak that information to benefit Mr. Trump.

We also saw before the election an unusual change in the Republican platform in favor of Russia. We saw Mr. Trump himself encourage the Russians to hack into Hillary Clinton. And we saw this just unusual affection that the president seems to have, where he won’t say anything bad about Vladimir Putin.

And since the inaugural, we have seen the resignation of the national security adviser and recusal of the attorney general because of contacts with Russians."
