Politics – Obama says it’s ‘possible’ Putin is trying to get Trump elected

President Barack Obama on Tuesday said it’s possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin could be attempting to swing votes in favor of Donald Trump. When asked whether Russians could be working to influence the election, Obama replied, “Anything’s possible.” “Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin,” Obama said during the sit-down with NBC News. “And I think that Trump’s gotten pretty favorable coverage back in Russia.” Democrats have been alleging that Putin is seeking to control the election after WikiLeaks released damaging emails from the organization after a DNC data breach.
