GOP senator repeats debunked claim about which country meddled in 2016 election, despite U.S. intelligence community’s clear assessment that Russia was responsible
GOP Sen. John Kennedy was taking heat on Monday, including from Hillary Clinton, for doubling down on his assertion that both Russia and Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election, this despite the U.S. intelligence community’s clear assessment that Russia was responsible.
Kennedy asserted that news media reports indicate that the former Ukrainian president also favored Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to win the presidency over then-Republican nominee Donald Trump. "The fact that Russia was so aggressive does not exclude the fact that President Poroshenko actively worked for Secretary Clinton," the Louisiana Republican added.
At the Kremlin's direction, Russia's intelligence services waged a pro-Trump disinformation campaign on social media and secretly stole tens of thousands of private emails from the Democratic National Committee, the U.S. intelligence community concluded.
