“I was wrong,” he said on CNN. “The only evidence I have, and I think it’s overwhelming, it that it was Russia who tried to hack the DNC computer. I’ve seen no indication that Ukraine tried to do it.”
After a wild interview Sunday on Fox News, Sen. John Kennedy conceded Monday to CNN host Chris Cuomo that he was wrong in the earlier interview. Russia, not Ukraine, was responsible for hacking Democratic National Committee emails before the 2016 presidential election, he clarified.
Asked by Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday if he thought Russia was behind the damaging cyberattack — as the U.S. intelligence community has concluded — Kennedy falsely claimed that nobody knows. When Wallace responded that the “entire intelligence community says it was Russia,” Kennedy answered: “Right, but it could also be Ukraine.”
