Can you tell me how Trump was supported by the Russian government during elections?

The Russian government reportedly launched a cyber-operations campaign to aid President Trump's electoral chances, leaking hacked information and propaganda in an effort to discredit his opponents. During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Russian President Vladimir Putin was reported to have said he favored a Trump win, and pro-Russian media outlets reportedly supported Trump throughout his campaign. Trump himself had numerous contacts with Russian officials, many of which remained unreported until recently. There is also evidence that the Russian government gave money to the pro-Trump "America First" committee.
