Trump Told Russia To Get Clinton's Emails. The Same Day, They Obeyed.
Amanda Terkel,HuffPost July 13, 2018
In the morning of July 27, 2016, Donald Trump encouraged Russian hackers to find emails that had been deleted from Hillary Clinton's private server that she used while serving as secretary of state.
"I will tell you this, Russia: If you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said at a press conference in Florida. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."
Russia appeared to be listening and heeded Trump's call, according to a bombshell revelation on Friday. A grand jury convened by special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian intelligence officials for their involvement in hacking the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 election.
The indictment states that on July 27 ? the same day as Trump's press conference ? Russian hackers, "for the first time," attempted to break into email accounts, including those used by Clinton's personal office. Notably, the indictment specifies that the hack happened in the evening, meaning the Russian officials could have done it after Trump's press conference.
Around the same time, they also tried hacking the Clinton campaign ? although the hacking of the campaign began earlier, before Trump's call.
