Speculation has been rife Moscow hacked the gmail account of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta before passing tens of thousands of the emails to WikiLeaks.

The information group published thousands of the emails in the crucial weeks before Donald Trump won the overall election race.

The Obama administration has consistently claimed a Russian hack attack was responsible for the leaks.

Speculation mounted on Wednesday when pro-Kremlin political analyst said “maybe we helped a bit with WikiLeaks”, despite denying allegations outright of Russian interference in the election.

But WikiLieaks denied during an online debating forum Reddit of collusion with the Russians.
