Putin Personally Managed Hacks, Had ‘Vendetta’ Against Hillary

U.S. intelligence officials reportedly believe Russian President Vladimir Putin personally played a role in efforts to manipulate the 2016 presidential election.

The claim comes from alleged new intelligence that Putin himself played a role in deciding which Democratic National Committee emails to release to WikiLeaks. The intelligence officials elaborated that they got the information from spies working for U.S. intelligence agencies abroad, and other U.S. diplomats.
