it s a surprising move given today today the senate intelligence committee released this. a 67-page bipartisan report on election interference. and it calls to for more to be done now to protect against russian attacks. and not only that, today the president s own fbi director warned that russians are still attacking the united states. we expect much of the same in 2020, especially with new cyber tools kinning to fall in the hands of adversaries who would do us harm. do us harm. and it was just yesterday that the former special counsel robert mueller who spent two years investigating russian interference sounded a sirens blazing alarm. did you find evidence to suggest they will try to do this again. it wasn t a single attempt. they are doing it as we sit here. as we sit here. but according to the senate intel report, again bipartisan, trump s team struggles to fully get it. let me read this.
in the 2016 election, but they are now looking for the next elections. the white house then you know they anhydrous add in response to your letter thankfully the middling didn t affect the outcome, the trump administration has instituted the first ever whole of government approach with the fisher, dhs and state and local officials to protect the integrity of our elections. and here is the fbi director christopher wray, the d had. s cyber security chief. chris crabs both talking about this today, chairman. here they are. we have yet happily to say attacking manipulating or deleting election and voter related data, or attacks that take election management systems off line. but we know that our adversaries are relentless. so are we. we re not going to be caught flat footed again. we are ready and preparing for 2020. . is it possible chairman that
that the things he does severely damage democracy. this is okay for foreign powers to interfere and we don t have to report it to law enforcement? the president s own fbi director said it s going to get worse in 2020, but let s cover it up, because it might have an effect we like, say our republican friends. goo is a new low for this senate you would urge my friends off other side of the aisle to rethink this. we will offer this unanimous consent request again, to say
some of the evidence, and they are not likely to accept this verdict from the president s own attorney general. so how does the attorney general, who works for the president, inspire confidence so that democrats and the country writ large accept this verdict? well, it s, i think that s an important question, and, you know, the underlying material, the democrats didn t want to share those in the irs investigation, and the law is clear that much of that material cannot be disclosed. it s a felony to disclose information from a grand jury. you know, there are executive privileges that may apply to certain materials, and much of it s classified. so the portion that would, you know, be publicly available under the law is not substantial. ed: okay. ty cobb, former attorney inside the white house, helped the president in the early stages of this investigation, turned over
it is on the president s own. the law firm did call the claims baseless. none will be doing on the house judiciary committee helping oversee the mueller investigation and said that any work that the firm has done with the trump organization having minor issues and building code violations an others involving do condominiums. they have subpoena power. expect them to use it. thank you.
