The U.S. intelligence community in 2017 said Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election and sought to hurt Clinton while trying to help Trump.

The office of U.S. Democratic former President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that a document issued last week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence does not undercut the conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 U.

Trump, asked in the Oval Office about the Jeffrey Epstein case, quickly pivoted into an attack on Obama, Democrat Hillary Clinton and a probe into whether Russia interfered with the 2016 election.
