The 2016 United States Presidential Elections resulted in a close tally between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Considering the well-timed exposes that occurred during the final weeks of the election lead to the assumption that the elections were tampered with by Russian Intelligence.

There are reports that suggest that Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 Presidential Elections is partly thanks to the melding of Russian Hackers during the heat of the elections. As a result, multiple factions are urging Hillary Clinton to pursue a recount as reported by Jobs & Hire. The same report claims that the CIA looked into the matter to further identify the motive behind the hacking if ever the Russians did so. Apparently, it was proven that Russian Intelligence was able to infiltrate the systems, however, it is unclear if the election results were tampered with. Moreover, a clear motive for the Russians to help Donald Trump win the presidency is yet to be made crystal.

According to Daily Mail, Donald Trump is willing to accept that Russia helped him win the presidency if the FBI and CIA agree on the results said his Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus. The remark was made by Preibus during an interview with Fox News. The latter also said that it is important that the conclusion is made unanimous to show the American people that both agencies have the same findings.

Moreover, Priebus says that CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey should dish out a joint report on the matter. While Kelly Conway, an adviser to Trump demands evidence on CBS's "Face The Nation" on Sunday. In reply, Democrats said that the chances of the public receiving significant evidence are thin since doing so will expose other classified information.

Despite claiming that their party is ready to accept the findings of the FBI and CIA, Priebus still stands firm to his belief that all this is a spin job by the Democrats. Stay tuned to News Everyday for more updates.
