Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort said Sunday morning that suggestions the Manhattan billionaire colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the hack of Democratic National Committee emails were baseless.
“No,” Manafort said on ABC’s “This Week," when asked if the campaign had ties to Putin.
He added: “It’s absurd. There’s no basis for it.”
On Friday, Wikileaks published thousands of emails that were compromised in a recent hack of the Democratic National Committee. The hack was linked to Russian intelligence services and showed that DNC officials were tipping the scales against Bernie Sanders, deepening a divide in the Democratic Party.
Speaking to “This Week,” Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook suggested Putin perhaps orchestrated the hack to help Trump’s campaign.
