The swirl around Russia’s meddling in recent U.S. elections has continued the last few days. Yesterday, top intelligence officials testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee regarding foreign cyber threats to the U.S. Today, ODNI released its declassified report on Russia’s role in the 2016 election cycle. Throughout all of this, President-elect Trump has cast doubt on whether the hacks could really be attributed to Russia. Today, the President-elect acknowledged that Russia, as well as many other nations, certainly do try to infiltrate U.S. systems. He would not recognize that any foreign involvement affected the outcome. Trump isn’t alone, as some experts have explained that there is some reason to be skeptical.
Included below is the text of the Joint Statement and video of testimony given in yesterday’s hearings by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Marcel Lettre, and Director of U.S. Cyber Command and NSA Admiral Michael Rogers.
