Senate National Security Panels to Plan Response to Russian Hacking Allegations

Posted: January 4th, 2017

Leaders of three top Senate national security committees are to meet Wednesday to discuss alleged Russian hacking of last month’s elections, and the Senate Foreign Relations committee has set a closed-door briefing on the Obama administration’s response for Thursday, a committee aide told The Cipher Brief late Tuesday.

According to the aide, Sens. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Ben Cardin (D-MD), the chairman and ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee; John McCain  (R-AZ) and Jack Reed (D-RI), who hold similar positions on the Armed Services Committee; and Richard Burr (R-NC) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-VV)  the leaders of the Intelligence Committee will meet to discuss how each committee plans to deal with the Russian hacking allegations.

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
