Over the past few weeks, liberals have pointed to various analyses (and leaked documents) produced by America’s intelligence agencies as proof that the Russians wanted Donald Trump to win the 2016 general election.
While President-elect Trump appears to have more or less accepted the fact that the Russians were behind the email leaks that dominated much of the election cycle, he has continued to push back on the notion that they did it to help him.
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich sided with Trump this weekend in an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” where Gingrich stated that President Barack Obama had corrupted the intelligence agencies and Trump was right to question them.
“I mean, this is at the political-appointee level, which has really been corrupted by the Obama administration,” Gingrich told CBS’ John Dickerson.
