WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama said it was possible that Russia would try to influence the
U.S. presidential election, after a leak of Democratic National Committee emails that experts have attributed to Russian ******s.
"Anything is possible," Obama told NBC News in an interview broadcast on Tuesday when asked if the Russians would try to influence the **v.8 election.
Obama said the Federal Bureau of Investigation was investigating the leak on Friday of more than 19,000 DNC emails, which showed the committee had favored Hillary Clinton over Senator Bernie Sanders for the party´s presidential **mination.
"I k**w that experts have attributed this to the Russians," Obama said. "What we do k**w is that the Russians hack our systems, **t just government systems but private systems," he said.
The email leak forced Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida to resign as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
Clinton, who received the Democratic **mination on Tuesday at the party´s convention in Philadelphia, will face Republican Donald Trump in the election.
"What the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that, I can´t say directly. What I do k**w is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin," Obama said.
Trump has often praised Putin, calling him a "strong leader. " The New York businessman also told the New York Times last week that with him in the White House, NATO might **t automatically defend the Baltic states that were once part of the Russian-led Soviet Union.
"I think that Trump has gotten pretty favorable coverage back in Russia," Obama said.
