Donald Trump addressed so-called rumors as "ridiculous."

New York Times reported that intelligence agencies in the United States are confident that Russia has something with Donald Trump winning the election. Information also surfaced that the Russians allegedly hacked the Republic National Committee and other Democratic organizations.

It is not yet clear what documents were stolen by the hackers. Investigators described the events as conspicuous because the hackers did not release the information that they've gathered. It is believed that the main motive behind the attack was to disrupt the recently concluded election.

US President-elect Donald Trump claimed that the information was "ridiculous." He added that the accusations are just excuses and that he do not believe the reports. He stated that there's a strong possibility that the reports came from the Democrats and that the different intelligence agencies has nothing to do with it.
