'German spy chief
warns Russia cyber-attacks aiming to influence elections'
I think you've worded that incorrectly.
It should read along the lines:
"German spy chief echoes official script from Washington
(fully endorsed by his direct boss, Mrs. Merkel, a confessed admirer of Hillary
Clinton who wrote the first draft of the script to explain her miserable defeat)
about Russia influencing elections."
