Donald Trump Just Asked Russia To Hack The US Government

Short Bytes: Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump urged Russia to hack into the US government servers, releasing the personal emails of Hillary Clinton when she was the secretary of State.

The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump spits all kinds of nonsense. On his campaign trail, he is known to make appalling statements and earning a place in news headlines.

Well, in the latest development, Trump hit a new low. Speaking at a press conference, he urged the Russian government to hack into the US government servers.

Here’s what he said:

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

At the conference, Trump was speaking regarding the recent leak of DNC staffers’ emails. Unsurprisingly, he decided to target his Democratic rival and talk about Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

There’s no denying the fact that begging a foreign government to hack the emails of a former secretary of State shows how easily Trump puts his personal interests far ahead of his nation’s well-being.

Trump didn’t stop there. He sushed NBC reporter Katy Tur when she asked about the same, mentioning Russia’s hostile policies towards the State.

“Be quiet,” Trump said to Tur. “I know you want to, you know, save her (Clinton)”.
