Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump as “Putin’s puppet†on Friday in response to reports that U.S. intelligence officials told lawmakers that Russia is meddling in the 2020 presidential campaign to help Trump.
“Putin’s Puppet is at it again, taking Russian help for himself,†Clinton wrote on Twitter in response to an NBC News report that confirmed a New York Times story about the intelligence briefing.
The reports in question were vague, and it is unclear what evidence intelligence officials briefed to Congress. CNN anchor Jake Tapper poured cold water on the reports, saying a source familiar with the congressional briefing said the intelligence provided to Congress was being “mischaracterized.â€
“What’s been articulated in the news is that the intelligence community has concluded that the Russians are trying to help Trump again. But the intelligence doesn’t say that,†Tapper said on Twitter, citing an anonymous but “reliable†source.
