Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein issued a dozen indictments Friday against "Russian intelligence officers" connected to a cyber warfare operation that hacked a DNC server in 2016, and breached several state election systems, exposing the information of around 50,000 voters.
It's not clear whether the Department of Justice will be able to bring the 12 individuals, who called themselves "Guccifer 2.0," to justice in the United States.
What is clear, Trump said Saturday, is that Barack Obama's administration was remiss in handling the hacking threat from Russia, giving the Russians license to meddle in American elections.

"As Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said today: 'There is no allegation in this indictment that Americans knew that they were corresponding with Russians. There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime. There is no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result,'" Deputy White House Press Secretary Lindsay Walters said in a statement Friday, CBS News reports.
