Trump Asks Russia to Hack Hillary’s Missing Emails
“Russia, if you’re listening...”
CNN
During a Wednesday press conference in Florida, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump encouraged Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s “missing” emails from her tenure as secretary of state. “Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens. That will be next. Yes, sir.” Trump also insisted he had nothing to do with the recent hack into DNC emails, which experts have claimed was likely orchestrated by the Russians. “I have nothing to do with [Vladimir] Putin. I don't know anything about him,” the real-estate mogul declared. (Though he claims to have never spoken to the Russian leader, Trump has, in the past, bragged about meeting him.) The GOP nominee added: “If it is Russia, which it's probably not—nobody knows who it is—but if it is Russia, it'd be for a different reason. Because it shows how little respect they have for our country. When they would hack into a major party and get everything.”
