Clinton says 'no doubt' Trump team intersected with Russia

New York: Hillary Clinton, who on Tuesday released her tell-all memoir about the 2016 presidential campaign, said she has "no doubt" that Donald Trump's associates helped Russia interfere in the US election.
Last year's failed Democratic nominee told USA Today newspaper that there "certainly was an understanding of some sort" — and direct communication — between Trump's campaign officials or associates and Russia.
"There's no doubt in my mind that there are a tangle of financial relationships between Trump and his operation with Russian money," she said in the interview published hours before she kicked off her first book-signing for the memoir, "What Happened."
"And there's no doubt in my mind that the Trump campaign and other associates have worked really hard to hide their connections with Russians."
The Trump campaign's links to Russia are under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller and by multiple congressional committees.
Clinton's assertions in several interviews coinciding with the book launch amplify a core message of her campaign confessional: that a series of external forces conspired to prevent her from becoming the nation's first woman president.
