Trump should just support the intelligence conclusion, and say that he had nothing to do with it. After all, it's not his fault that a foreign power decided to intervene to support him. Then, he can put to rest any concerns by adopting a hawkish stance towards Russia, and imposing new sanctions on them. This kills many birds with one stone. A foreign power's attempt to influence our election will have backfired, thus dissuading similar attacks in the future. Trump will kill any notion that the Russians have any information or other ties to blackmail him with. And he will have proven that he puts America First. If he doesn't, he's just feeding into the Democrats' suspicions otherwise.
The alleged RNC hack looks especially bad, because if the Russians are sitting on that info, they can blackmail Trump if there's anything embarrassing in there. Trump must ascertain what they have ASAP, and then release the information as soon as possible, so it's all out there well before the next election, when whatever is there will have faded into the background.
