Obama stated, "What I was concerned about in particular was making sure the 2016 DNC hack wasn't compounded by potential hacking that could hamper vote counting, affect the actual election process itself." He continued, "So in early September, when I saw President Putin in China, I felt that the most effective way to ensure that that didn’t happen was to talk to him directly and tell him to cut it out and there were going to be serious consequences if he didn’t. And in fact we did not see further tampering of the election process."Cole Matthew Esposito Richard Biddle Sam Grim Ryan https://theintercept.com/2017/06/05/top-secret-nsa-report-details-russian-hacking-effort-days-before-2016-election/ Top-Secret NSA Report Details Russian Hacking Effort Days Before 2016 Election: A top-secret National Security Agency report details a months-long Russian hacking effort against the U.S. election infrastructure.
