Mark Warner: ‘The Russian Active Measures Efforts Did Not End on Election Day, 2016’

‘They were not only geared at the United States of America’

WARNER: "You know, chairman and I would love to find ways to close things down but we also still see strings and threads that we need to continue to pursue. I want to touch on two subjects. The first is echoing what Richard’s already said. The Russian active measures efforts did not end on Election Day 2016. They were not only geared at the United States of America. We have seen Russian active measures take place in France. We’ve seen concerns raised in the Netherlands. We’ve seen concerns raised in Germany. And we need to be on guard. One of the things that is particularly troubling to both of us is the fact that it’s become evident that 21 states' electoral systems were not all penetrated, but there was at least — there was at least trying to open the door in these 21 states."
