The most ignored story of the 2016 presidential campaign is the press corps unwillingness to focus on Russias election meddling before election night, according to one of Hillary Clintons former top aides.

After all, the circumstances that led to the accusations of collusion that continue to dog President Donald Trump were visible during the campaign itself. The same Trump associates who are currently being questioned for potential ties to the Kremlin had senior positions on his election team.

But to the eternal frustration of Clintons camp, the press never seemed interested in the Russian-meddling angle during the campaign.

In the latest episode of Candidate Confessional, Jennifer Palmieri, Clintons campaign communications director, recounts how she tried to repeatedly get reporters to write about Russia, to little effect.
