Hillary Clinton on Monday hinted that there may be a link between the recent cyber attacks on Democratic campaign groups and Donald Trump’s candidacy.
“If you find a turtle on a fence post, it didn’t get there by accident,” she told reporters Monday when asked if Russia was trying to help Trump, according to NBC News. “I think it’s quite intriguing that this activity has happened around the time Trump became the nominee.”
Clinton added that Trump has “urged the Russians to hack more, and, in particular, hack me, and he has generally parroted what is a Putin-Kremlin line,” according to NBC News.
Clinton also told reporters that the fact that U.S. officials are investigating the hacks “raises some grave questions about potential Russian interference with our electoral process,” according to Politico.
“I’m really concerned about the credible reports about Russian government interference in our elections,” she said, per Politico.
