The former director of National Intelligence, James Clapper , said that the intelligence community's conclusion that Russians sought to influence the 2016 election "cast doubt on the legitimacy" of President Trump's victory, in a CNN interview on Friday night. Clapper oversaw the January report that concluded, in a consensus between the CIA, NSA and FBI, that Russia carried out a deliberate and multifaceted attempt to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The report found convincing evidence that Russia had specifically worked to aid Donald Trump in winning the presidency.
