Gowdy splits with GOP Intel Committee, says Russia worked against Clinton

Rep. Trey Gowdy said on Tuesday that Russia had clearly worked against Hillary Clinton, and planned to continue doing so if she was elected president, Politico reports.

[Russia was] motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her Presidency had she prevailed."
