"The reason Barack Obama did not act after being told by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that Russia intervenes is that he expects Clinton to win ... and does not want to 'mess up the situation'," Donald Trump wrote on his Twitter on June 26, according to Reuters. Mr. Trump charged his predecessor "collusion" with Russia or "hindered".
A White House official under Obama dismissed criticism from Trump and noted that Obama directly raised the issue of US electoral intervention with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
ABC News reported that Trump may be reacting to a recent Washington Post article. The article says the Obama administration has decided not to take an official measure of Russian response before the November 8 election.
"They are afraid that all actions will be considered political and that Russia can not only use fake news and attack emails ... Assume Hillary Clinton wins may be the cause of this urgent need," according to post write.
The White House moved all inquiries related to Russian investigations to Marc Kasowitz, Trump's lawyer. The spokesman for Kasowitz has yet to comment on Trump's announcement.
"After 4 months of looking at Russia ... they have no 'proof' of Trump people in collusion.I'll have no collusion or hindrance.I should be sorry!", Trump said on Twitter the same day.
The Obama administration in October 2016 accused Russia of assaulting its networks on Democratic affiliates before the November 8 presidential election. In December of the same year, Obama ordered US intelligence agencies to investigate cyberattacks and foreign interference, sending reports to him by 20 January.
The US intelligence community in January concluded that Russia sought to help Trump take advantage of Hillary Clinton by attacking the high-ranking Democrat e-mail box and revealing its content. Russia denies this allegation.
