The U.S. has not seen Russia shift on its preference from previous U.S. presidential elections on who it prefers to win this year, a U.S. intelligence official said Tuesday, indicating that Moscow again favors Republican Donald Trump.
The official, briefing reporters on U.S. election security, did not name the former president and presumptive Republican nominee when asked who Moscow wants as the next U.S. president.
But he indicated that Russia favored Trump, saying the U.S. intelligence community had not changed its assessments from previous elections.
