On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) stated that he’s concerned that “potentially, the Trump team, the Trump campaign team, coordinated with the Russians to alter the outcome of the election through the Russian hacking and through the Russian amplification of false news.”

Merkley said, “Well, my biggest concern is that potentially, the Trump team, the Trump campaign team, coordinated with the Russians to alter the outcome of the election through the Russian hacking and through the Russian amplification of false news.”
