On New Year’s Eve, Trump said that he knows “things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation.”
Pressed by a reporter for details, Trump said, “you’ll find out Tuesday or Wednesday.”
But as the day came to a close, Trump hadn’t revealed any more details about the hacking of his campaign opponents, admitting only – in a tweet – that “somebody hacked the DNC,” and alleging the party had weak cyber defenses.
On Tuesday, however, Trump continued to taunt the U.S. intelligence community about its assessment that Russia was behind the cyber-attacks, tweeting: “The ‘Intelligence’ briefing on so-called ‘Russian hacking’ was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!”
But there was no delay, according to U.S. officials, the briefing was always scheduled for Friday.
