Hillary Clinton Approved Plan of Spreading Allegations Linking Trump to Russian Bank in 2016
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager has admitted Clinton
personally approved a plan in 2017 to share with the media a
since-debunked allegation that Donald Trump's campaign was covertly
communicating with a server at Alfa Bank in Russia. The revelation came
during the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman, who
is accused of misleading the FBI during its Trump-Russia probe. The
allegations about Trump and Alfa Bank first appeared in Slate.com days
before the 2016 election.
