Hillary Clinton's campaign has thrown its support behind an effort
to provide members of the Electoral College with intelligence briefings
on Russian breaches of U.S. political organizations before the College
formally votes to elect Donald Trump president next week.
"The bipartisan electors' letter raises very
grave issues involving our national security. Electors have a solemn
responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to
have their questions addressed," Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta
said Monday, responding to a request for briefings by a group of electors.
Podesta's strongly worded statement signals a clear shift in strategy
from Clinton and her team, who have until now shown no interest in
questioning the legitimacy of last month's election. And it could crack
the door to further challenges or give succor to some Democrats'
long-shot hope that Trump's election could be upended when the Electoral
College convenes December 19.
