On Monday, United States President Donald Trump took on Twitter, calling on the bipartisan House Intelligence Committee to launch a probe into possible links between Hillary Clinton and Russian affairs.
“Why isn’t the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech money to Bill, the Hillary Russian ‘reset,’ praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta’s Russian Company?” Trump asked.
…money to Bill, the Hillary Russian “reset,” praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!

This is not the first time Trump has accused his former Democratic rival in the presidential election of having ties with Russia.
In a campaign rally in 2016, he said: “Hillary Clinton gave them 20 percent of our uranium – gave Russia for a big payment.”
In turn, during the presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton repeatedly accused Trump of being related to the Kremlin. After the election, an investigation has been launched into Moscow’s alleged interference in the electoral process. Russia has denied the allegations, saying it never meddles in other nations’ domestic affairs.
