China, in his words · First term · № 48
Asserted that China hacked Hillary Clinton's emails
“Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!”

What the record showed
Trump had tweeted about the same report about three hours earlier, late on August 28. Later on August 29, an FBI official told NBC News, "The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised." NBC reported that the claim came from a right-wing media story that cited two sources briefed on the matter, and that the FBI official pointed to a June 2018 Justice Department inspector general report on the Clinton email investigation.
