A defiant Donald Trump on Wednesday morning in South Florida called on Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s missing emails.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said to a room of TV cameras at Trump National Doral. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
Trump spoke briefly and then took questions for nearly an hour on a long list of topics including Russia, his positions on immigration, trade and Israel. But the most colorful portions related to Russia, Clinton and former Democratic Party chair U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston.
Trump repeatedly denied having ties to Russia. The Clinton campaign maintains that Russia hacked into the Democratic National Committee emails, which were made public on Friday, to help Trump.
“It’s just a total deflection this whole thing with Russia. ... By the way they hacked, they probably have her 33,000 e-mails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 e-mails that she lost and deleted because you’d see some beauties there. So let’s see.”
The Clinton campaign was quick to respond. Said advisor Jake Sullivan: "This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent. That's not hyperbole, those are just the facts. This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue."
Referring to statements about whether he could have been the hacker, Trump said: “It’s so far-fetched. It’s so ridiculous. Honestly I wish I had that power. I’d love to have that power.”
