White House press secretary Jen Psaki spoke with popular users of the Chinese social media platform TikTok on Thursday, where she claimed that the Russian government 'hacked' the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks during a press briefing at the White House, Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022, in Washington.
Psaki was joined on the call by an official from the National Security Council, who added to Psaki's statements on Russian disinformation, saying that the Biden administration's correct prediction that Ukraine would be invaded has given the White House more credibility moving forward."I think we've now built up a bit of credibility, we absolutely were not crying wolf here. And every step we predicted the Russians were going to take, they have taken," the official said.
"So hopefully that has helped cut down the credibility of their disinformation. But it is still a daily struggle where we're constantly trying to knock down things they are saying, accusations they are making that have no basis in fact at all."Timothy Nerozzi is a writer for Fox News Digital.
