As Trump continues to dismiss the CIA’s ability to gather intelligence, a bipartisan group of four senators have called on Congress to confront Russian cyber attacks.
“Congress’s national security committees have worked diligently to address the complex challenge of cybersecurity, but recent events show that more must be done,” the senators said. “While protecting classified material, we have an obligation to inform the public about recent cyberattacks that have cut to the heart of our free society. Democrats and Republicans must work together, and across the jurisdictional lines of the Congress, to examine these recent incidents thoroughly and devise comprehensive solutions to deter and defend against further cyberattacks.”
The bipartisan group of senators released a joint statement.
The statement is a clear rejection of Donald Trump’s assertion that he doesn’t believe the CIA, which concluded Russia intervened in the 2016 election in order to help him win the presidency.
In an interview on CBS Face the Nation, Senator McCain said, “…whether they intended to interfere to the degree that they were trying to elect a certain candidate, I think that’s the subject of investigation. But facts are stubborn things, they did hack into this campaign.”
