Trump turns on White House over its claims he knew about Russian hacking storming: ‘Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?’
Donald Trump tweeted this morning and asked why the White House was so interested in the Russian hacks now – insinuating that it’s politically motivated
Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway also took on the White House this morning on Fox & Friends
She said it was ‘breathtaking’ that Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed Donald Trump knew Russia was behind the Democratic hacks
Trump had said at a press conference in July that Russia should ‘find the 30,000 emails that are missing’ from Clinton’s trove of emails from her secret server
‘She got this party started,’ Conway said of Clinton, suggesting Trump’s Democratic opponent was the one who really put the country at risk

President-elect Donald Trump slammed the White House this morning, suggesting President Obama and Democrats only cared about Russian interference in the election because their chosen candidate didn’t win.
‘If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House [wait] so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?’ Trump tweeted Thursday morning, misspelling the word ‘waite.’
He dashed off an identical, second tweet, making the spelling correction.
Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the White House didn’t hold a Situation Room meeting about the hacks until July, three months after the Democratic National Committee was compromised and, additionally, rejected more robust responses that would have gotten Moscow’s attention.
