Angus King: ‘There’s No Doubt’ the Russians Want to Help Trump

‘There is no doubt about what happened historically’

EXCERPT:

KING: "There’s no doubt about that, John. That’s well-established by the unanimous reports of the intelligence community and has been confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee which is a very bipartisan committee. So there is no doubt about what happened historically. I think what’s missing is a full-throated rejection of any interference in this coming election, and that’s where I’m concerned. If the president can get over 2016 and say, 'Okay, that’s history, but I am against foreign involvement in our elections and if the Russians or anybody else get involved in 2020, they’re going to feel the full weight of the response of the U.S. Government,' so far he hasn’t said that. And I think that’s — that’s in effect partially disarming us in terms of our ability to react to this kind of interference."
