MOSCOW (dpa-AFX) - President Donald Trump Monday revived allegation that the Hillary Clinton Campaign accepted money to lift US sanctions against Russia.
He asked if his presidential election rival had any knowledge about it.
'Was the brother of John Podesta paid big money to get the sanctions on Russia lifted? Did Hillary know?,' Trump said in an early morning tweet Monday.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and his brother Tony Podesta are the co-founders of the Podesta Group, a Washington based 'government relations and public affairs' lobbying firm that had close ties to the Democratic Party and the Obama administration.
According to a report, Tony Podesta was paid $170,000 last year for representing Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, which sought to have economic sanctions against the country lifted.
In another tweet, the billionaire-turned politician resurfaced the allegation that the Clinton campaign was given questions prior to primary debates and town halls.
'Did Hillary Clinton ever apologize for receiving the answers to the debate? Just asking!.'
WikiLeaks release of hacked Podesta emails say the Clinton campaign was given a hint about a question the Democratic presidential candidate would be asked at a town hall during the Democratic primary.
Trump's twitter messages come amid Democratic claims about an alleged connection between Trump's campaign and Russian officials and a pair of congressional investigations probing Russia's meddling in the election.
The Trump election campaign team is accused of colluding with senior-level Russian officials for hacking the emails of the Democratic Party and the campaign of its presidential candidate. Both Trump and the Russian Government denied it.
