grateful that there are republicans and democrats working together on nonpartisan solutions to this growing challenge. but you voted against the election security bill last month. no, that bill had a lot more in it. that was like the democrat guaranteed re-election bill. there is other legislation that has broader bipartisan support that doesn t engage in some of the you say that russia is a malign actor and you want to hold them accountable. the leader of your party, the president, said he would possibly welcome information from the russians in the 2020 election. yeah, i think that was one interpretation of his remarks. later he clarified in the same paragraph that you are citing, the president said that he would probably refer that information to the fbi as well. he didn t do it in 2016. so i think that it is a different time. we know more now about russia s malign activity. and remember it was the obama administration that made a
