US intelligence split on motive for Russian election interference [View all]

However, an FBI official's presentation to the House Intelligence Committee was "fuzzy" and "ambiguous," the Post added.
The CIA believes Russians hacked both Democratic and Republican organizations, though only documents from Democrats were leaked and published.

According to multiple reports, the FBI still hasn't confirmed whether the RNC or other Republican groups were hacked.

The Washington Post reports the FBI is not certain that Russia's interference in the election was a purposeful effort to alter the results.

During a meeting of the House Intelligence Committee, the CIA said it was sure of Russia's intentions in hacking Democratic party emails, but the FBI was less certain, The Post reported.

One official told The Post that for the FBI, "there’s no question that [the Russians’] efforts went one way, but it’s not clear that they have a specific goal or mix of related goals."
