39. Attempted payback for Obama expelling 35 Russian diplomats for hacking in 2016
Mon Jul 21, 2025, 04:37 PM
Monday

"Mr. Obama expelled the diplomats, saying they were really spies, and ordered new sanctions on Russian spy agencies for alleged Russian hacking of political sites during the presidential election.

The State Department said Sunday that the 35 Russian diplomats, along with their family members, have left the United States.

Mr. Obama also shuttered two Russian compounds in Maryland and New York. The U.S. said the two Cold War-era estates were being used for intelligence activities."
