Report: Punishment coming for Russia over U.S. election interference

President Barack Obama's administration is getting close to dishing out some serious punishment against Moscow for meddling in last month's election to get Donald Trump elected, U.S. officials reportedly said Tuesday.


U.S. officials told The Washington Post that sanctions are coming for the Russians' purported interference -- an effort "confirmed" by the Central Intelligence Agency and seconded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The punishment will include economic and diplomatic censure -- as well as secret cyber operations, the Post report said. A public announcement of the measures, which are reportedly still being finalized, may come this week.
