Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Friday warned Russia to stay out of U.S. elections after The Washington Post reported, citing anonymous sources, that U.S. officials had told Sanders that Russia is trying to aid his presidential campaign.
“The intelligence community is telling us they are interfering in this campaign, right now, in 2020. And what I say to Mr. Putin, if elected president, trust me you are not going to be interfering in American elections,” Sanders told reporters in Bakersfield, California.
