On the Election Day, dated November 4th, 2008, Co-chair of Obama’s transition team, John Podesta requests Obama not to accept an invitation to a G-20 summit held on November 15, on the chance that outgoing President George W Bush extends an invitation after his win.
When the G-20 gathered in Washington, Obama was absent.
The White House refused to comment. The US intelligence officials believe Russia harmonized the extensive cyber attacks into Democratic Party-related e-mails.
The Obama mails were amongst some 23,000 e-mails stolen from Podesta, who now toils as Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.
