President Obama was aware of the FBI investigation in 2016. As to why he never said anything publicly prior to December, Vice President Joe Biden said Obama was asked not to by Sen. Mitch McConnell:
Obama reportedly was informed by the FBI in 2016 that the bureau was investigating Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 election, but, according to former Vice President Biden's telling, Obama was warned against going public with the investigation by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Obama, during his tenure, said he confronted Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russian interference in the 2016 election. The former president, according to The New York Times, said he told Putin "to cut it out, there were going to be serious consequences if he did not."
