FBI chief says: 'Russia had a hand in US election'

The Dhaka Times Desk The media is once again busy with the US election. This time, a new uproar has started with the statement of the FBI chief. FBI chief says, 'Russia had a hand in US election'.

According to a news report of NDTV, Christopher Ray, director of the US intelligence agency FBI, opened his mouth about the US election. He said that Russia had a hand in the US national election.

Christopher Wray said the FBI's view on Moscow's interference in the election was that Russia had tampered with the 2016 US election. This week he repeated the comments to US President Donald Trump, despite Vladimir Putin's denials.

Earlier (Monday) at the meeting in Helsinki, Putin denied to Trump about Russian interference in the US elections. When asked about this, the FBI director said, he only expressed his opinion from his position.

Ray also said the intelligence agencies are standing by their assessment. There is no change in my opinion in this regard. Our assessment in this regard is that Russia tried to interfere in the last election of the United States in various ways and still they continue to do various negative things to influence the United States.
