Nunes Statement on Cyber-Attacks Report
Washington,
January 6, 2017
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes today issued the following statement on the Intelligence Community’s report on election cyber-attacks: “The report details a long-running, coordinated campaign of cyber-attacks by Russia on U.S. targets. The House Intelligence Committee has been warning the Obama administration for years about the need for stronger measures against Russia to counter these kinds of attacks, but our warnings largely fell on deaf ears. Russia’s actions show, inescapably, that failing to confront hostile actors invites further attacks. Although it’s too late for President Obama to adopt strong policies to deter Russian aggression, I hope the next administration will quickly do so.” |
