Trump dismisses CIA claims that Russian hackers intervened to help him win election | Daily Mail Online: Donald Trump dismissed CIA claims that Russian hacks on Democratic emails were intended to help him win the presidency as 'ridiculous'
He told Fox News Sunday that it was 'another excuse' for Democrats and said he believed that rival politicians had spread the news
He's not the only one with doubts - in a secret Capitol meeting last week, a senior FBI official refused to back the CIA's claim
Russia has been named as the culprit in a number of hacks during the election that saw Democratic emails being leaked
But the FBI says there isn't enough evidence to confirm Russia was pro-Trump, rather than just causing interference with the election
One official said the FBI prefers to commit only to things that can be proven in court, while the CIA is happier to make inferences
Senators John McCain, Jack Reed, Lindsay Graham and Chuck Schumer are now demanding a bipartisan investigation into the hacking
