Listen to this article

On early Wednesday, the U.S President Donald Trump claimed without providing evidence that emails of Hillary Clinton were hacked by China. He also said that the U.S Justice Department and the FBI risked losing their credibility if they didn’t look into the matter. Trump wrote on Twitter and claimed that most of the emails of former secretary of state were hacked containing classified information. He also called it A Very Big Story. Most of the emails of Hillary Clinton had classified information that got hacked by China. Trump wrote in a tweet posted shortly after midnight that the next move better is by the FBI & DOJ or their other missteps and their credibility will be forever gone. Trump didn’t provide any detail regarding the alleged hacking.

Tweets of Donald Trump came shortly after the online publication of a story by the Daily Caller claiming that a Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington area hacked private server of Hillary Clinton when she was the U.S secretary of state and obtained nearly entire her emails. Trump wrote in an earlier tweet on Tuesday night that Reports just out: China hacked private email server of Hillary Clinton.  Are they sure it wasn’t Russia? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, it is a very big story due to having much-classified information. A spokesman for the FBI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump has long focused on the use of private server of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. He also contends that the FBI didn’t do a sufficient job of investigating regarding the matter.
