Trump insists ‘it was Iran’ when pressed about FBI ver­dict on cam­paign hack

For­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump con­tin­ued to blame Iran for hack­ing his cam­paign after he was asked what the FBI has con­clud­ed about the data breach. 
After ear­ly vot­ing in Flori­da, Trump spoke to the media on Wednes­day and took ques­tions about the cyber­at­tack his cam­paign sus­tained last week.
Upon being pressed if an FBI inves­ti­ga­tion had said “specif­i­cal­ly that it was Iran” that was respon­si­ble for the hack, Trump respond­ed, “I don’t want to say exact­ly, but it was Iran.” 
The for­mer pres­i­dent reit­er­at­ed the claim sev­er­al times dur­ing his inter­ac­tions with the press, echo­ing his assess­ment of the data breach after it took place last week.
