Question of the Day By Lauren Toms - The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 16, 2020
White House National Security Adviser Robert C. O’Brien this week cut short a valedictory tour of European capitals, according to multiple reports, as he returned to Washington to grapple with the repercussions of a global cyberespionage campaign that hacked into the systems of multiple U.S. government agencies.
Government investigators and private security analysts have said Russia is behind the hack, a charge the Kremlin has denied.
Mr. O’Brien is heading an emergency interagency push to assess the extent of the breach. Officials told The Associated Press he was originally set to spend the entire week traveling, and was forced to scrub stops in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Britain.
