There's no public information making it clear that there is a connection.
US intelligence officials have stated that the Russians devoted resources to act against Clinton in the election.

People have made the point that regardless of whether there was coordination, Trump and fake news did often end up talking along similar themes (but that can just be one following along with the other).
