Times reported several trump aides had repeated contacts with russian intelligence in the year runup before the election. They cite electronic intercepts. Just today a question along those same lines was asked of sean spicer at the briefing. Back in january, the president said that nobody in his campaign had been in touch with the russians.

December 29, the Obama Administration reveals new sanctions on russia. December 30. Putin says russia will not retaliate. That sa
