Hillary blames Comey letter, Putin orchestrated hacking behind her stunning loss

Defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has blamed her presidential election loss on the “unprecedented” events of Russian cyber hacking and the FBI’s probe into her use of her personal email server. The cyber attacks — which US intelligence sources believe were approved by Vladimir Putin — were the result of a “personal beef” the Russian leader had with her, Clinton told the gathering of fundraisers, who had given a total of about USD 1 billion to her campaign.
