US elections: "Putin interfered with the vote"

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly directly involved in the campaign organized by Moscow to interfere in the last US presidential election. This would be confirmed with a "high degree of certainty" by some evidence collected by intelligence, according to an exclusive Nbc News, which cites some secret service and diplomatic sources with direct access to the dossier.

In particular, Putin would have personally indicated how to leak and use the material stolen from the Democrats by hackers. What began as a personal vendetta by the Kremlin leader against Hillary Clinton - the sources explain to NBC - turned into an operation aimed at shedding light on corruption in American politics during the electoral campaign, undermining the image and credibility of US leadership in the world.

And if in October the 17 US intelligence agencies had released a statement accusing Russia of being behind the hacking of the Democratic Party, stating that such an operation could only be authorized at the highest levels, now for the first time it would emerge been incontrovertible evidence of ties between the hacker operations and Putin himself.

Lately the CIA - infuriating the president-elect Donald Trump - has in fact endorsed the thesis that Putin strongly wanted the tycoon to be elected to the White House. A view that the FBI and other intelligence agencies have not fully supported.
