Why did the former National Security Agency contract employee leak the classified information about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election?

For less than $500,000, Russian President Vladimir Putin got what he most wanted out of the Kremlin's campaign to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election: a destabilized American democracy and Hillary Clinton out of his hair, U.S. officials say.

The Intelligence Committee chairman's withdrawal doesn't fix the investigation or solve the chamber's deeper problems.

Less than five weeks after he took office, the chances of a spring thaw in relations between Washington and Moscow are looking much dimmer, U.S. officials say.

The poll, conducted between Feb. 16 and Feb. 20, shows how President Donald Trump has shifted opinions within the party of Ronald Reagan, where national security has been a top issue since the Cold War.

His denial came as former national security adviser Michael Flynn, in FBI interview, reportedly denied discussing sanctions with the Russian ambassador, something that could leave him open to charges.

With Trump expected to speak on Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time since taking power a week ago, speculation has been rife that Trump is close to lifting sanctions imposed on Russia by then-President Barack Obama.

The letter also asked Sessions, who as attorney general would be the country's top law enforcement official and head of the Justice Department, to commit to not shutting down any investigation into Russia's activities.
