Obama orders intelligence community review of 2016 election hacking
Published December 09, 2016 FoxNews.com
President Obama has ordered his intelligence agencies to conduct a review of hacking during the 2016 presidential election and present their findings before he leaves office, a top adviser said Friday.
Obama's counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco disclosed the review to reporters in Washington Friday morning.
"We maybe have crossed into a new threshold," Monaco said. Monaco did not say if the report would be made public.
The intelligence community already has probed suspected foreign intervention in the U.S. election, having concluded earlier that Russia-backed actors likely were involved in breaching and releasing Democratic Party emails during the 2016 cycle.
The final weeks of the White House race also were rocked by WikiLeaks’ publication of Hillary Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s hacked emails.
