>> you read the various stories, there's disputing. they are disputing. certain groups don't necessarily agree. personally, it could be russia. i don't think it is, but who knows. i don't know either. they don't know and i don't know. >> if an investigation in to the hacking revealed that russia did attempt to sway the vote the implications could be serious. let's go to cnn senior sbaushl correspondent matthew chance live in moscow. how are your sources within the russian government reacting to these accusations? >> well, i think it's fair to say they are on the same page as donald trump on this issue. rejecting they had anything to do with the hacking allegations. they rejected it in october, at the height of the presidential campaign when the allegations were made. they are saying there's nothing new in this.
