Maryland Senator Wants More Aggressive Response From President To Russia Cyber Campaign

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Lawmakers on capitol hill are calling on President Trump and his administration to expand the U.S. response to Russian interference in elections.

According to our media partners at The Baltimore Sun, Senator Ben Cardin of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, commissioned and released a 200-page report describing efforts by Russia to influence elections throughout Europe for years. Democrats say many of these countries have made aggressive moves to push back.

Democrats say the Trump Administration does not have a coherent plan to confront Russian cyber campaigns aimed at disrupting U.S. elections. In the report, instead of focusing on the 2016 presidential election, Democrats focused on Russian efforts to interfere with Britain’s 2016 referendum to leave the European Union and last year’s French presidential elections. They also covered similar campaigns in Germany, Italy, and Spain.

Democrats say Republicans were invited to take part in the report. But, they chose not to.

Perfect!! Obamas plan was to tell Putin to cut it out. Now we demand a plan. Guess this means there was no collusion

Boy, he just keeps trying to find new ways to put the words 'Trump' and Russia' together, no matter how immaterial and irrelevant.

There was no collusion. No crime. No problem.

Give it a rest, Ben.

Another ignorant career Politian and a Democrat. Cardin has never had a job since he graduated, ?????, from college besides a Politian. Did he not replace his Father?

You are correct, 5:36. Cardin graduated law school and immediately assumed his father's seat in the Maryland House of Delegates and later became the youngest Speaker of that body. It is also true that he has never earned a paycheck except from taxpayers.
