CIA: Russia participated in Democrat election hacks specifically to get Trump elected

The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, including Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, according to U.S. officials. Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clinton's chances.

"It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected," said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. "That's the consensus view."

President Barack Obama's administration has been debating for months how to respond to the alleged Russian intrusions, with White House officials concerned about escalating tensions with Moscow and being accused of trying to boost Clinton's campaign.

Russia has for the first time admitted that its own officials were behind one of the most extensive doping operations in sports history during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi — a scandal that implicated scores of Russian athletes and tarnished trust in the entire Olympic movement.

Sports officials admitted in recent interviews with the New York Times that they no longer dispute damning reports that lab directors, sports ministers and even Federal Security Service members were in on the sweeping operation.

"It was an institutional conspiracy," said Anna Antseliovich, the acting director general of Russia's anti-doping agency, adding that the covert operation was concocted over several years.
