Trump promises report on hacking within 90 days
Published in Alriyadh on 13 - 01 - 2017

US president-elect Donald Trump promised Friday that his "people" will release a full report on hacking within 90 days.
The promise came amid a series of three tweets rebuffing recent allegations that Russian intelligence has a secret file of compromising information about the next president.
"Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans - FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists. Probably released by 'Intelligence' even knowing there is no proof, and never will be," he tweeted.
However, no hacking was alleged in that case. Rather, the information was allegedly leaked by a British spy who gained access to a larger report about allegations of Russian hacking attacks in 2015 and 2016 designed to affect the outcome of last year's presidential election. The dossier of unverified information Russia has on Trump was an addendum to that report.
Given Trump's free flow of information on Twitter, it is impossible to say which issue would be the focus of his promised probe, or whether he would have both looked at.
"My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!" he wrote, without clarifying to whom he would give the job.
Friday's tirade also blasted his Democratic competitor in last year's election, Hillary Clinton, as "guilty as hell," amid reports the FBI is under scrutiny for the way it went about providing details into its investigation of her alleged mishandling of government email on a private server while secretary of state.
He additionally attributed her loss to campaigning "in the wrong states;" praised the anticipated repeal of President Barack Obama's signature health care law; and praised his cabinet picks for speaking their minds during ongoing confirmation hearings, even if they have contradicted him on critical issues in the last few days.
"All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a great job. I want them to be themselves and express their own thoughts, not mine!"
