The administration of incumbent President Barack Obama, accusing Russia of meddling in the American elections, wished thus to deny the legitimacy of the elected head of state Donald trump, says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. His words are quoted by the newspaper the Hill.

“They are trying to say that trump is an illegal President,” he explained.

At the same time, Assange could not clearly answer the question, did the publication of WikiLeaks the outcome of the elections of the President of the United States. He suggested that the results changed despite pre-polls, which had predicted Trump defeat, in consequence of the statements of the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and head of her election campaign John Podestà.

Assange also said that WikiLeaks, which is based on the publication of classified information of governments and politicians of the various countries, is not cooperating with Russia or any other country. “Our source — not the state”, — said the founder of the site.

29 Dec Obama and the U.S. Treasury have imposed sanctions against Russia in connection with the alleged cyber attacks against the U.S. electoral system. In particular, under the restrictions were FSB and the Main intelligence Directorate of the General staff of the Armed forces. Before that, trump said that Washington should leave the dispute over the alleged hacking of computers of the Democratic party. In his opinion, to impose on the Russian side to blame for a hacking attack correctly without having sufficient information.

The U.S. has repeatedly accused Russia of meddling in the presidential campaign to help Trump to win the election. Under the assumptions of U.S. officials, in July, Russian hackers broke into the servers of the National Committee of the democratic party, and the party Committee of the Congressional. Were also expressed suspicion that Russia might try to influence the voting by hacking computers. Moscow all charges have been consistently denied. Representatives of the trump in turn, said that the evidence in favor of this version does not.
