President Trump was reportedly shown highly classified information more than a year ago proving that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered cyberattacks to interfere with the U.S. presidential election.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Trump was shown the information at a briefing weeks before his inauguration. The documents he was shown included texts and emails from Russian military officers, as well as information from a source close to Putin, according to the Times.
Sources who attended the briefing told The Times that Trump was "grudgingly convinced" that Putin ordered the interference, a sentiment that stands in contrast to his comments at a press conference with Putin earlier this week.
