On Wednesday, Donald Trump said he hoped Russian hackers would find the 30,000 emails from Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State that she did not turn over to federal investigators. Clinton’s campaign said that Trump’s challenge was tantamount to encouraging Russian espionage and foreign interference in a domestic election. We’ll discuss Trump’s statement, the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s emails and how foreign powers influence U.S. elections.
