Hillary Clinton said in a new interview she is "convinced" there was some sort of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Clinton spoke with USA Today Monday about the release of her new book, "What Happened," which examines the 2016 presidential race.
"There certainly was communication and there certainly was an understanding of some sort," said Clinton, who lost to Donald Trump last November. "Because there's no doubt in my mind that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin wanted me to lose and wanted Trump to win. And there's no doubt in my mind that there are a tangle of financial relationships between Trump and his operation with Russian money.
"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."
Regarding collusion between Trump's team and Russia, Clinton said, "I'm convinced of it. I happen to believe in the rule of law and believe in evidence, so I'm not going to go off and make all kinds of outrageous claims. But if you look at what we've learned since [the election], it's pretty troubling."
There are several ongoing investigations, including a Department of Justice probe, looking at whether the Trump campaign had an improper relationship with Russia. President Donald Trump has called the probes a "witch hunt" but is reportedly cooperating with investigators, who have recently focused on Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
