WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has gathered enough evidence to charge six members of the Russian governmentin the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the investigation.

Federal agents and prosecutors in Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco have been cooperating on the DNC investigation and prosecutors could bring the case to court next year, it said.

The hacking investigation, conducted by cybersecurity experts, predates the appointment in May of federal special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee the probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Mueller and the Justice Department agreed to allow the technical cyber investigation to continue under the original team of agents and prosecutors, the Journal said.

That's Trump DOJ by the way, I thought Seth Rich gave the emails to wikileaks, why are they punishing Russians for it?

That's why Putin summoned him for a face to face. He is not happy with Trumps performance. Melania will be the interpreter.



Trump's big Asia trip may include a meeting with Putin in Vietnam

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump may meet next week at an APEC summit in Vietnam, the Kremlin said on Friday, saying talks were underway about setting up such an encounter.

Putin and Trump first met at a G20 summit in Hamburg in July when they discussed allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election, but agreed to focus on better ties rather than litigating the past.

Relations between Moscow and Washington have soured further since, however.

Trump in August grudgingly signed off on new sanctions against Russia, a move Moscow said ended hopes for better ties. Putin, dismayed by the sanctions, ordered Washington to more than halve its embassy and consular staff in Russia.

But when asked if Putin and Trump might meet at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit taking place next week in Vietnam, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow did not rule out such a meeting.


"It (the meeting) is indeed being discussed," Peskov told reporters on a conference call.

"It's hard to overestimate the importance and significance for all international matters of any contact between the presidents of Russia and the United States," said Peskov.

The APEC summit is taking place in the Vietnamese city of Danang from Nov. 8-10.

Good to see that the Trump administration is making progress with the investigation of Russian hacking. Too bad that Obama was unwilling to take action when he first learned about it (needed to see who won the election first) and too bad that the DNC prevented the FBI from investigating it by looking at their servers.

Maybe Hillary will show up to press the Reset Button.

Always a winner when she does that.
