After hacking allegation in Mueller report, Florida officials call for briefings.
U.S. lawmakers from Florida are amplifying their calls for classified briefings on a potential cybersecurity breach during the 2016 election, prompted by a single, mysterious line in special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report on Russian interference.
The FBI has reportedly agreed to those earlier requests for briefings. And during an otherwise contentious Senate hearing Wednesday, Attorney General William Barr said he would arrange for the full Senate to be briefed on the reported Russian hack, at the request of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. “In the majority of cases, only preparatory activity like scanning was observed, while in a small number of cases, actors were able to access the system but we have no evidence votes were changed or otherwise impacted,” DHS said in a statement in February 2018.
