CYBERWAR/RUSSIA/POLITCS: "Mr. Trump has chided the intelligence community over its view that the Russian government hacked into emails linked to the Democratic Party to try to interfere with the November election.
In recent weeks, the Central Intelligence Agency and other spy officials have sharpened their assessment to say that the Russian government was trying to help Mr. Trump win the election. Last week, the U.S. government imposed sanctions on Russian agencies and companies and expelled dozens of suspected operatives in response to the hacking operation."
