'It wasn't a single attempt. They're doing it as we sit here, and they expect to do it during the next campaign,' Mueller said of Russia.
Robert Mueller issued a stark warning to Congress on Russian election interference Wednesday:"They're doing it as we sit here."
In his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday, Mueller elaborated on his report, which concluded that Russia tried to interfere in 2016 in a"sweeping and systematic fashion." McConnell said his opposition arose from his belief the legislation was"highly partisan" and came from the"same folks who hyped up a conspiracy theory" about Trump-Russia collusion.
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal's move to force a vote on a separate elections security bill, the Duty To Report Act, which would require candidates, campaign officials and their family members to notify the FBI and the Federal Election Commission within 24 hours if they receive or are offered foreign contributions, was also blocked by McConnell.
