DNC Hacker Guccifer 2.0 Was Reportedly a Russian Military Spy

The hacker credited with handing off the Democratic National Committee's private emails to WikiLeaks was in fact a Russian military spy, The Daily Beast reported.

Guccifer 2.0, as he's known, is apparently part of Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate, abbreviated as GRU.

It had been assumed by the U.S. intelligence community that Russian forces were indeed responsible for the DNC email leak, but President Donald Trump hasn't exactly bought in on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, making The Daily Beast's scoop all the more troubling.

The outlet also learned Special Counsel Robert Mueller is now heading up the Guccifer investigation, teaming up with the same FBI agents who tracked the hacker down.

The probe continues to infuriate Trump, who took to Twitter Monday calling it "a total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!"
