Spokesman: Trump Didn't Ask Russia to Hack Hillary

Donald Trump was not asking Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton's email when he brought up the subject Wednesday, a campaign spokesperson has confirmed.

Jason Miller said on Twitter Trump was simply saying that if Russia or anyone else already has copies of the 30,000 plus emails Clinton deleted from her private server, they should contact the FBI.

Miller made his point in a series of tweets.

1/7 Clinton’s server was not secure, we don’t know where those emails are and the FBI was wrong in not recommending charges against her.

2/7 The U.S. was totally exposed here. Who knows how many countries hacked into Clinton’s secret server?

3/7 To be clear, Mr. Trump did not call on, or invite, Russia or anyone else to hack Hillary Clinton’s e-mails today.

4/7 Trump was clearly saying that if Russia or others have Clinton’s 33,000 illegally deleted emails, they should share them w/ FBI immed.

5/7 Keep in mind: Crooked Hillary still hasn’t said what was on those emails. She said they were about yoga. No believable.

6/7 Only reason we’re talking about this is b/c HC deleted e-mails on home server & it’s hurting her campaign. D’s trying to change subject.

7/7 Don’t forget DNC was hacked and all sorts of embarrassing emails about smearing Sanders and rigging their system have been released.

The FBI said earlier this month Clinton should not face criminal charges over her use of a private email system while she was secretary of state under President Barack Obama.

Russia has been implicated as potentially being behind a massive hack of the Democratic National Committee.
