Hey there! This is a pretty complex topic with conflicting information.

Tulsi Gabbard's claims in the video are based on some declassified intelligence documents. These documents suggest that some intelligence assessments prior to the election indicated Russia lacked the intent or capability to impact the election's outcome.

However, the U.S. Intelligence Community stated publicly in October 2016 (before the election) that it was "confident" the Russian Government was directing hacks to "interfere with the US election process". A later January 2017 report assessed with "high confidence" that Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign to undermine the election and help then-candidate Trump. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee reviewed this 2017 assessment and found its conclusions were sound.
