According to Xinhua News Agency on January 7, US Houses of Congress scored electoral votes , officially confirming that Donald Trump defeated Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by 304 to 227 votes in the November 2016 presidential election and was elected the 45th president of the United States.
reported that when the electoral votes were counted that day, a few Democratic federal representatives tried to question the effectiveness of the electoral votes, but the current US Vice President Biden immediately stated: "No debate. If there is no signature of the federal senator, opposition cannot be considered." According to regulations, the results of the opposition voting must be submitted in writing, and at least one federal member of the Senate and House of Representatives supported in writing.
Biden then read out the points and announced that 's four-year term of office as president-elect and vice president will officially begin on January 20, 2017. The presidential inauguration ceremony to be held on that day is the last procedure for the US presidential election.
On the same day Trump's election was confirmed by both houses, the issue of "whether the result of the US election was intervened by hackers instructed by Russian President Putin" sparked debate from all walks of life. Faced with doubts, Republicans who have long disagreements since the election have rarely united and "rebel" back (reported to duì, which means counterattack, resentment, beating, scolding, and criticism).

American Republicans intensively counterattack
0On January 6, A decryption report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence showed that in the "hacking operation" initiated by Moscow attacked the email address of Democratic Party organizations and some individuals (including Hillary's campaign chairman John Podesta), and the information obtained was disclosed through third-party websites such as "WikiLeaks". The report said that Russia's move aims to attack Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and help his opponent Trump win the 2016 US election , "is a 'significant escalation' of Russia's long-term efforts to undermine the 'free and democratic order led by the United States.'"
In response, US President-elect Trump said in a telephone interview with the New York Times that this incident received too much attention and was a political "witch hunting operation." He also jokingly called the United States "the capital of global cyberattacks." On the morning of the same day, Trump had a "constructive" meeting with the director of 's US intelligence agency . After the meeting, Trump refused to comment publicly on the conclusion of the report and insisted that the hacking "has no absolute impact" on the final election results.
According to CNN on January 6, Trump's adviser Kellyanne Conway said in an interview on the same day that the defeated Hillary Clinton team is still spreading the message that "Russia hopes Trump is elected."
"Russia does not want Trump to be elected because Trump made it clear during the campaign and after his election that he intends to improve nuclear weapons, expand defense budgets, and develop the oil and gas field, which are in conflict with Russia's economic and military interests." Conway added that Trump won the election because Americans wanted tougher national leaders and commanders of the three armed forces to enter the White House.
, and during the campaign, he once "confronted" Trump , the U.S. House Speaker , Republican Paul Ryan, also stood on Trump's side this time. According to Fox News, Ryan said that Russia undermines US interests and clearly strives to interfere in the US political system, but there is no clear evidence for interference in the presidential election.
"We need to be clear that there is no evidence that anyone interferes in the election or the voting process." Paul Ryan said that Trump was winning the presidential election because Trump listened to the voices of Americans who felt they were forgotten.

WikiLeaks: The informant is not from a certain government
The outgoing President Obama expressed concerns about the "one-sided" of Republicans.According to CNN, in an interview with ABC on January 6, Obama was worried that the Republicans believed more in Russian President Putin than the American Democratic Party.
"Russia intends to interfere in the election, and they did interfere. One of the things that worries me is that we have seen a lot of comments recently. Republicans or experts and commentators seem to believe in Putin more than their own American colleagues, because these colleagues are Democrats." Obama said, "This situation should not happen. We are a team, and Putin is not a member of our team."
contrasts with the active statements of people from all walks of life in the United States that Russia has not responded too much to the accusation of "interference in the US election" that has been rampant for the past two weeks. Russia also rarely took relatively equal countermeasures against Obama's sudden announcement of sanctions against Russia at the end of the year and expelled 35 Russian diplomats in the United States.
Before this, Putin said that the data released by the hackers did not bring benefits to Russia, and the increasing "hysteria" was to divert attention from the content itself. WikiLeaks, which was "named" by the decrypted report of the US intelligence agency on
, was released on January 6 after the decrypted report of the US Director of Intelligence Office made public, and posted a post on its official Twitter account (picture below), saying, "The report decrypted by the US Director of Intelligence Office today is not enough to overturn our judgment: the informant who provided information about the US election to WikiLeaks was not from a certain country (government)."
