WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after President Obama ordered a full review of Russian interference in the election: 

“I am glad that President Obama is ordering a full review of Russian hacking and interference in our election, following the letter that I and other senior House Democrats sent earlier this week. We must have a complete accounting of what Russia or Russian-backed entities did in the months leading up to the election in order to try to influence its outcome.  I look forward to reading the report that the White House is preparing when it is released, and I again ask the White House to brief Congress at its earliest opportunity on what our national security agencies have uncovered so far.  The American people deserve to know the extent to which a foreign adversary meddled in our democracy.”
