President Donald Trump said this morning that his predecessor Barack Obama "colluded or obstructed" in regards to Russian interference in the USA election.
Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, said Sunday that there was no evidence that Russian Federation colluded with the Trump campaign, adding that because "the never-ending Russian Federation discussion" had shifted to hacking, the fault lay with the Obama administration.
President Trump erupted on his predecessor and the Democrats in a Monday morning tweetstorm, accusing the party leaders of a conspiracy to hide what they knew about Russian interference during the 2016 election.
"With 4 months looking at Russia.they have zero "tapes" of T (Trump) people colluding".
President Donald Trump has accused his predecessor of collusion or obstruction for his handling of intelligence that Russian Federation interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
Mr. Price added, "This "I'm-not-you-are" strategy tends to be a hallmark of elementary school, not presidential strategy".
A report says the Central Intelligence Agency first told Mr. Obama about the Russian President's order in August.
His latest tweets came as the Justice Department and at least four congressional committees continue to investigate Russia's alleged election interference, including possible ties between Russian Federation and members of Trump's campaign team.
The Obama administration formally accused Russian Federation in October of a campaign of cyber attacks against Democratic Party organizations ahead of the November 8 election.
Despite Russia's assault on American democracy, the Obama administration did not proportionately punish the country for the attacks, instead opting to impose only modest economic sanctions.
Another former Obama White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr. Trump's attacks on Mr. Obama were "a transparent effort to distract from the awful impact of their [Obamacare] repeal bill". Trump himself frequently called the Russian election interference story a hoax, and raised the possibility that other state or non-state actors could have stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, despite the assertions of the intelligence community.
Trump said in another Twitter post yesterday.
US government officials are trying to curb President Donald Trump's enthusiasm about meeting Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit in Germany, the Associated Press reported on Monday. I hope they do.
Trump suggested the media has underreported the story, while has rigorously pursued allegations that his team colluded with Russian Federation during the 2016 race, in which he upset Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. "I think there are a lot of questions that need to get answered about who knew what and when", Spicer said.

Ding, ding, ding, if you guessed that last one - and the opportunity it gave President Trump to rail against the Obama administration - you would be correct. Democrats "have no policies or ideas", Trump wrote.
His health care frustration, meanwhile, came after Republican as well as Democratic senators used Sunday TV shows to urge for a delay on the GOP's much-maligned Senate bill to replace Obamacare.
