* President told Fox & Friends Weekend in an interview to air Sunday that he had only just learned Obama may have known about Russian hacking attempts
* Trump appeared to be referring to a Washington Post story that claimed the CIA had intelligence last August that Putin had ordered the hack
* He hit out at Obama saying 'should have done something about it'

* He decided to deliver warnings to Moscow but left countermeasures until after the November election
Donald Trump has hit out at Barack Obama following claims the former President had knowledge of Russia trying to hack the US election but allegedly failed to do anything about it.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that the CIA had top-level intelligence last August that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered an operation to help Trump win the US presidential race.
Trump has now spoken out about the claims and questioned why Obama refused to act in an interview that is set to air Sunday on Fox & Friends Weekend.

WNU Editor: The media narrative now is that President Trump is admitting that the Russians tried to influence the election .... Trump appears to admit Russia interfered in the US election in a tweet criticizing Obama (Business Insider). I see it differently .... I see President Trump as someone who cannot resist poking at President Obama and telling him that he basically "chocked". As for the Democrats who do believe that the Russians were successful in influencing the election results .... they must be beyond livid .... and that probably includes Hillary Clinton.

"choked"
Unless HRC told him the Putin-Russia angle was part of the plan to create negatives around Trump.
Come on WNU editor...you know it makes sense.
HRC is the only beneficiary of thr Putin Trump connection. Why is she not under investigation?
"The simple truth is that the Republicans welcomed a foreign government interfering in the election on their behalf. They knew and they were happy about it and they are now doing everything in their power to cover it up. There is no other way to look at it.
Republican leaders were so hungry to kill people on Medicaid, bankrupt the middle class and give tax cuts to their millionaire friends that they knowingly allowed a foreign government to help that corrupt, incompetent imbecile into the White House. Think about that."

2018's going to be freaking hilarious. So far, only Blue States are looking into serious cybersecurity measures to prevent another 2016 hack.
