Democrat Hillary Clinton warned
Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is rooting for Donald
Trump in the race for the White House because the Republican would be
his “puppet.”
In a ferocious debate exchange, Clinton
cited reports from US intelligence agencies that Russian cyber attacks
had targeted her party and campaign, and demanded that Trump condemn it.
“They have hacked American websites, American accounts of private people, of institutions,” she declared.
“Then they have given that information to WikiLeaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet,” she said.
Trump dismissed the intelligence reports, declaring: “Our country has no idea.”
