US President Barack Obama has ordered a “full review” of hacking-relating activity aimed at disrupting and influencing last month’s presidential election and he expects that report before he leaves office on January 20, a top White House official has said on Friday.
“We may have crossed into a new threshold and it is incumbent upon us to take stock of that, to review, to conduct some after-action, to understand what has happened and to impart some lessons learned,” Obama counterterrorism and homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco told reporters at a breakfast offered by the Christian Science Monitor.
Recall that U.S. intelligence officials have blamed the Russian government for pre-election hacking of Democratic officials and political committees.
