FBI director: There is no evidence that the Trump campaign or the RNC was 'successfully hacked'

FBI Director James Comey told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Tuesday that his agency "did not develop any evidence that the Trump campaign or the current RNC was successfully hacked" by Russia during the presidential campaign.

The only Republican systems infiltrated by the Russians, Comey said, were Republican state-level political campaigns and old email domains that the Republican National Committee was no longer using. While Russian hackers collected some information from these hacks, they did not publicly release what they stole, he told lawmakers.

There was "some limited penetration of old RNC email domains," Comey said. But the FBI found no indication, upon examining current RNC servers, that they were successfully infiltrated by Russia, he said.
