President Donald Trump tweeted about what he calls the 'Russia hoax' Friday morning – amid new revelations of what appears to be a massive hack being traced to Moscow that compromised huge swaths of the government.
Trump's tweet came as he is facing political criticism for failing to publicly acknowledge, no less counter, a cyber attack that officials suspect is yet another breach driven by a Russian foreign intelligence unit.
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah compared the attack, which went undetected for months, to a long-range bomber.
'What I find most astonishing is that a cyberhack of this nature is really the modern equivalent of almost Russian bombers reportedly flying undetected over the entire country,' he said in a tweet Thursday.
