Regarding President Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Hillary Clinton was asked while speaking at an event in Mumbai, India, about the relationship Trump has with Putin.
"Trump does have quite an affinity for dictators. He really likes their authoritarian posturing and behavior," she said during the event, according to The Washington Post.
"He does have a pre-existing attitude of favorability toward these dictators, but I think it's more than that with Putin and Russia," she said.
The host of the event pressed Clinton on whether she believes Russia has "something" on Trump.
"Well, we'll find out. We'll find out," Clinton said. "Follow the money."
Special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly been questioning witnesses about Trump's business dealings in Russia as he investigates Russian interference in the 2016 election.
It was reported last week that Mueller is also looking at a letter that Trump wrote to Putin in 2013, personally inviting him to the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. That letter is the first known occurrence of Trump trying to personally reach out to Putin.
