White House National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien claimed Sunday that Russia was supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential campaign in hopes he would cut the U.S. military budget.
“What I heard from the FBI is that Russia would like Bernie Sanders to win the Democrat nomination and would probably like him to be president, understandably, because he wants to spend money on social programs and probably would have to take it out of the military, that would make sense,†O’Brien said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.â€
O'Brien didn't provide any further evidence to back up the claim.
