We don't know if he would have or not if Hillary had won the GE. I'm gonna go with would not have done a thing.
The time to have expelled them would've been before the GE was over, so he could try to eliminate the interference, doing so after the GE is over and his side lost, reeks of Retaliation.
Foreign policy, well, any public policy, is not best done in knee jerk reactions. The expulsions would not have stopped the interference, anyway. Taking action earlier would have had more influence on the election.
