Coons: Russian Hacking a ‘Direct Assault on Our Democracy’

COONS: "Andrea, I do think that it was clear before the election that our intelligence community had high confidence that Russia was intentionally interfering in our electoral process. And we need to be clear with the American public what this means. This was a direct assault on our democracy by one of our leading adversaries in the world. And I’m very concerned about the trajectory of President-elect Trump’s foreign policy with regards to Russia as a result. It is my hope that we will be able in a bipartisan way to step up and address both Russian cyber hacking of our election and the broader challenges that we face as a country addressing the challenge of cyber security going forward."
