YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS. Former US Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says Russian president Vladimir Putin wants to ‘bring down the US’.

In an interview with Variety, Clinton said ‘the technological forces that conspired to sabotage her presidential bid in 2016 are still very much at play’.

“I think it’s important to learn the real lessons from this last campaign,” she said. “The forces aren’t just interested in influencing elections and politics. They’re going after the economy and our unity as a nation”, she said.

Clinton spoke in great detail about how a ‘massive Russian-led misinformation campaign’ scuttled her chances with the help of social networks that weren’t properly empowered to combat fake news.

“It is important that Americans, that people in tech and business understand that Putin wants to bring us down,” she warned. “He is an old KGB agent.”
