Sen. Mark Warner on “This Week” this morning: “All indications point to Russia” as the source of the cyberattack against the U.S. government, even as Trump leaps to defend his BFF Putin. Sen. Warner adds:
“This is extraordinarily serious and when the President of the United States either tries to deflect or is not willing to call out the adversary, as we make this attribution, he is not making our country safer.”
Sen. Warner adds that so far, “it appears that only the non-classified networks have been breached.” Still, Russia “came away with a big, big haul” and this will take “weeks to ferret this out” and “potentially months to remediate.”
