Trump's Russia claims drive this week in politics

Washington (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump claims to have inside information on Russia's meddling in the United States' election -- and promises to reveal it "Tuesday or Wednesday."

At a New Year's Eve party at his Mar-A-Lago estate, a tuxedoed Trump maintained that another culprit aside from Russia could have been behind the election intrusion.

"It could be somebody else. And I also know things that other people don't know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation," he said.
Liberal groups want delay of Sessions hearing

Asked to describe what undisclosed information he knew, Trump said: "You'll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday."

Everything else he's hinting at is just braggodocio and bullshit.

I think he's suggesting he knows more than 'we' do, as he has 'access,' even tho he hasn't been attending regular briefings.

Of course he's full of sh**, so he could be 'saying' something or NOTHING.
