Perdue: ‘We Have No Evidence’ that Russian Hacking Had ‘Any Impact on the Election’

‘What we have here is a wake-up call in my mind that this is bigger than Russia and bigger than this one incident’

PERDUE: "Well, I never can speak to motive. We have no evidence right now that this attack had any impact on the election. But what I do is look at this as a wake-up call, Bill. As I said, we now have a four plus one series of threats out there, whereas 20 years ago we had a one plus one. We have Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and now ISIS is also attacking us through cyber-warfare. We know what Russia is doing in Europe today, it's trying to destabilize the satellite countries in Eastern Europe. So this is something that Breedlove absolutely admonishes us to do today and I'm anxious to get started in the process and we will do that today in the hearing."
