News Alert: Russian bank says it's being framed

The Russian bank that had an "odd" Internet link to the Trump Organization during the presidential campaign is now claiming that U.S.-based hackers have recently launched cyberattacks to try to frame the bank.

In a statement, Alfa Bank said "the cyberattacks are an attempt by unknown parties to manufacture the illusion of contact" between Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization.

Last week, CNN revealed that the FBI's counterintelligence team is still investigating whether there was a computer server connection between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank during the U.S. election, according to sources close to the investigation.
