‘Zero evidence’ Russia influenced US election – Trump press sec

There is “zero evidence” that Russia influenced the US presidential election, incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has said, adding that it would be "irresponsible to jump to conclusions" before receiving a final intelligence report.

When asked about the report “on Russian malicious cyber activity”, released by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Thursday in an effort to link Russia to hacks of Democratic Party organizations, Spicer noted that the 13-page report is first and foremost “a how-to manual for the DNC [Democratic National Committee] as to how they can improve their IT security.”
