What we declassified and released provided further reinforcement of how politicized this document was. It showed a few things. For example, that in those sources that were hidden, that Putin didn't believe Trump would win the election in 2016. He thought Hillary Clinton was going to win. He thought that, hey, we know who she is, we know how she operates. We can try to figure out a way to deal with the Hillary Clinton presidency. (10:54–11:01)
