John Bolton is denying that he suggested the Obama administration hacked into the Democratic National Committee as a “false flag” operation.

The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations appeared on Fox News on Monday morning to clarify a statement he made on the same network the day before that was taken as an accusation toward the Obama administration. Bolton said Monday he doesn’t believe the administration is to blame for the hacks, but suggested other countries could have been behind it and want people to think Russia is to blame.
