Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Russia to help America
locate the emails that Hillary Clinton attempted to conceal by deleting
them from her private server.
"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the
33,000 emails that are missing," Trump told reporters at a Florida press
conference. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our
press. Let's see if that happens."
They probably have her 33,000 emails," he said.
"I hope they do because you'd see some beauties in there."
Trump also added that he doesn't care which foreign country
might have the emails, and that he'd like to read them regardless. "I
need to be honest with you, I'd love to see them," he said.
WikiLeaks on Friday released roughly 20,000 emails hacked from
the servers of the Democratic National Committee. Experts say at least
two Russian actors successfully hacked the servers, leading to
speculation that the country's government handed the emails over to
WikiLeaks.
Trump said he is not convinced Russia is responsible for the
leak, but that it was a bad sign for the Obama administration if it was
Russia. "With the technology and the genius we have in this country ...
we don't even know who took the Democratic National Committee emails,"
he said. "I heard this morning ... they don't think it's Russia. It
might be China. Another report said it might be a hacker. Some guy with a
200 IQ who can't get up in the morning."
"If it is Russia, it's really bad for a different reason because
it shows how little respect they have for our country where they would
hack into a major party," he added.
Trump also said it was a misnomer to believe he would be easy on
Russia, and that President Obama already made that mistake by pushing
the country to become closer with China.
