From the joint intelligence agency report released earlier this afternoon:

We assess  Russian President  Vladimir Putin ordered  an influence  campaign  in  2016  aimed  at  the US presidential  election.   Russia’s  goals  were to  undermine public  faith in the US  democratic  process, denigrate Secretary  Clinton,  and  harm  her electability  and  potential  presidency.   We further assess Putin and  the Russian  Government  developed  a  clear preference for President-elect  Trump.   We have  high  confidence  in these  judgments. 

• We also  assess  Putin and  the Russian Government  aspired  to help  President-elect  Trump’s election chances  when possible by  discrediting  Secretary  Clinton and  publicly  contrasting  her unfavorably  to him.   All three  agencies agree  with this  judgment.   CIA  and FBI have  high  confidence in this judgment;  NSA  has  moderate  confidence.
