In a podcast with former Obama adviser David Plouffe, Clinton said she wasn’t “making any predictions, but [she thinks Russians] have got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate.”

Gabbard lashed out at Clinton on Twitter Friday calling her the “queen of warmongers [and the] embodiment of corruption” in response to the allegations.
She also told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that the former Secretary of State is waging a smear campaign against her because “she knows she can’t control me.”
