On the same day that WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange told Fox News that, contrary to the Obama administration’s claims, the Russian government was not the source for their leaked Democratic Party documents, conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer said President Obama’s newfound adversarial stance and actions against Russia are “largely political,” intended to delegitimize President-elect Donald Trump. Krauthammer went as far as to suggest that Obama was looking to seek “revenge” on Trump for his prominent voice in the Team Hillary-originated “birther” movement.
Krauthammer’s comments came during a discussion with Special Report host Bret Baier about the future Trump administration’s claims that Obama’s retaliation against Russia is an obvious attempt to use the “Russia hacked the election” narrative to undermine Trump.
