Obama promises action against Russian hacking

President Barack Obama promised retaliation against Russia for its involvement in November's presidential election.


In an interview Thursday to be broadcast Friday by National Public Radio, Obama said, "I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action and we will at a time and place of our own choosing." Of potential responses, Obama added, "Some of it may be explicit and publicized, some of it may not be."

Hackers employed by Russia invaded the Democratic National Committee's computer network and the private email accounts of John Podesta, adviser to Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton, intelligence officials in the CIA and the FBI concluded. In the interview, though, Obama did not comment on the CIA's conclusion that the Russia effort was designed to help elect Republican Party candidate and President-elect, Donald Trump.
