Remember the time Hillary Clinton warned us about Russia’s interference with the US?

Remember the time Hillary Clinton warned us about Russia’s interference with the US?

Michael Flynn’s resignation following his conversations with the Russian ambassador before Donald Trump's inauguration seems to be the tip of a rather large iceberg.

President Trump is batting away allegations that his ties to the Kremlin are a threat to US national security.

A number of security agencies, including the NSA have expressed concern over Trump’s ties to Russia.

However people have been pointing out that his connection to Vladimir Putin has never been a secret.

In fact, Hillary Clinton referred to it at a debate during the presidential election.

She said:

I think that this is such an unprecedented situation we’ve never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election. We have 17 intelligence agencies – civilian and military – who have all concluded that these espionage attacks come from the highest levels of the Kremlin. And they are designed to influence our elections. I find that deeply disturbing.

Donald Trump continues to decry the reports as 'false news', despite the evidence stacked against him.
