Sanders aid warned Clinton of Russian attacks on her campaign through his FB page

On Tuesday, Sanders described one spike in anti-Clinton sentiment that he attributed to the Russian campaign. In September 2016, an aide noticed hundreds of “new names” appearing on pro-Sanders Facebook pages to denigrate Clinton and her candidacy — despite the fact Sanders himself was campaigning on her behalf during that same period.


The influx of social media trolls was alarming enough that the aide approached the Clinton campaign to inform them of the situation, Sanders said.
