A report Friday morning claims Russian President Vladimir Putin gave direct instructions to help elect Donald Trump president.
According to a Washington Post investigation, former President Obama received a secret CIA report in August.
That report "captured Putin's specific instructions on the operation's audacious objectives - defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton."
CBS News confirmed last year that U.S. intelligence officials knew that the Russian government operation to interfere in the U.S. election had been approved by Putin himself, but they were reluctant to reveal how much they knew out of concern that sources and methods could be compromised, CBS News justice and homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues reports.
