President Obama ordered the closure of two Russian diplomatic compounds in Maryland and New York and barred from the U.S. 35 Russians designated as intelligence operatives as retaliation for alleged hacking of the U.S. presidential election. The president also declassified information that he said would help the U.S. and other nations deter cyberattacks by Russian civilians or government agents. The White House acted in response to findings by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia sought to undermine the campaign of Hillary Clinton and aid the election of Donald Trump. Russia has denied involvement and demanded the U.S. offer evidence.
