On December 9, 2016, President Barack Obama directed the Intelligence Community to conduct a full review and produce a comprehensive intelligence report assessing Russian activities and intentions in recent U.S. elections.
The shocking results prove beyond any doubt that Russia hacked into the Democrat Party's server, with the goal to upset the election and harm candidate Hillary Clinton.
This is the first time a foreign government has successfully attacked the United States democratic voting process to such a great extent.
Incoming president Donald Trump had nothing to do with this hack, and the results of the election stand true. No voting machines were found to be tampered with.
However, fake news and released emails did impact American's decisions on election day, due to this hacking.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Statement on Declassified Intelligence Community Assessment of Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections released the link to the intelligence reports.
