Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has slammed Donald Trump for his ‘absolute allegiance’ to Russia that raises ‘national security’ concerns, prompting her Republican rival to deny having any ‘relationship’ with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I have no relationship with him (Putin),” Trump said, adding that he had praised him the in the past because he had said ‘nice’ things about him. “And for Trump to both encourage and praise Putin despite what appears to be a deliberate effort to try to affect the election, I think, raises national security issues,” the Democratic presidential nominee alleged. Last week, Trump during a news conference had appeared to have asked Russia to find out the missing 30,000 emails of Clinton and release them. His comments came amid scrutiny of the Republican presidential nominee following the leak of nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee emails.
