Lankford: Trump ‘Correct’ that It’s ‘Very Hard’ to Track Hacking to a Person

‘That’s why the FBI has not filed criminal charges on anyone and has not tried to actually nail it to a person because we can’t be that specific’

LANKFORD: "So, in his own administration, Mike Pompeo, the leader of the CIA, he has approved in days ahead, and multiple other individuals, Dan Coats will be able to sit down and walk through and have this trusted inner circle and actually give that counsel to him. We won’t have to do that. Here’s the big issue, though. And I think it’s a difference a lot of people are missing. We talked about sanctions. We talked about Russian engagement. But what Donald Trump keeps identifying is it’s very hard to track hacking to a individual person. He is correct on that. That’s why the FBI has not filed criminal charges on anyone and has not tried to actually nail it to a person because we can’t be that specific.”
