President Obama orders Intelligence to report to Congress on Russian hacking — before Trump takes office

“The President has directed the Intelligence Community to conduct a full review of what happened during the 2016 election process. It is to capture lessons learned from that and to report to a range of stakeholders,” White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser Lisa Monaco said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters Friday.
…The review is intended to be done before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, Monaco said. “[Obama] expects to get a report prior to him leaving office.”
…”We’ll see what comes out of the report. There will be a report to a range of stakeholders, including Congress,” she said.
This is a critical development in the ongoing pursuit to understand how, and to what extent, Russia meddled in the 2016 elections. And our democracy depends on it.
