President Barack Obama has ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to deliver to him a dossier of the evidence that the Russian government used cyber attacks and other means to intervene in the 2016 election, possibly with the idea of making more information public, a senior intelligence official tells NBC News.
White House counterterrorism advisor Lisa Monaco told reporters that the results of the report would be shared with lawmakers and others. Obama leaves office on Jan. 20.
Republicans in Congress, including Lindsay Graham and John McCain have indicated they will support efforts by Democrats to investigate the Russian hacks and other interference in the election.
Based on WHAT? Because the FBI didn't investigate his or his entourage's emails or call logs. Comey is a partisan hack. Glad Obama called for an investigation that's not half-assed.
