As Trump continues to deny the Russian cyberattack on the U.S., intelligence agencies say the midterm elections are vulnerable to more attacks. Tell Congress to support bills to protect U.S. election systems, enforce Russian sanctions, and demand a hearing on the closed-door Trump-Putin meeting in Helsinki.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text admin_label=”Issue, Action” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n SUM Working Group C2A<\/strong><\/p>\n No doubt historians will have much to say about the July 16<\/span> Trump-Putin summit<\/span><\/a>, especially Trump\u2019s insistence that the leader speak alone. Trump sided with Putin over his own intelligence services <\/span>during a joint press conference<\/span><\/a> and cast doubt on their unanimous conclusion that Russia launched a massive cyberattack against the U.S., findings confirmed just two weeks before by the <\/span>Senate Intelligence Committee<\/span><\/a>. It was a puzzling<\/span> display of subservience<\/span><\/a> to a dictator who attacked the U.S., supports a <\/span>murderous regime in Syria<\/span><\/a>, and is suspected of <\/span>releasing chemical weapons<\/span><\/a> against civilians in England. Trump\u2019s performance drew<\/span> criticism<\/span><\/a> even from normally silent or supportive Republicans, including<\/span> Susan Collins<\/span><\/a>. Meanwhile, there is <\/span>increasing evidence<\/span><\/a> that Russian attacks went beyond misinformation and propaganda and <\/span>are continuing<\/span><\/a> and intelligence experts say the <\/span>midterm elections are a prime target <\/span><\/a>for Russia. Despite the revelations, Trump continues to <\/span>deny Russia attacked the U.S<\/span><\/a>. and House Republicans (including Rep. Poliquin) recently <\/span>declined to renew badly needed election security funding<\/span><\/a>. Americans still don\u2019t know <\/span>what Trump and Putin discussed<\/span><\/a> behind closed doors in Helsinki and Trump recently\u00a0<\/span>invited Putin to the U.S.<\/span><\/a>, without discussing it with his chief intelligence officer. Trump has since\u00a0postponed that visit<\/a>\u00a0following public outcry and push back from leaders of both parties.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”MoC\/Legislators contact section” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ custom_padding=”0|0px|0px|0px|false|false” prev_background_color=”#000000″ next_background_color=”#00417f” global_module=”3386″][et_pb_row global_parent=”3386″ custom_width_px=”1778px” custom_padding=”||0px|30px” custom_margin=”|||” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ background_color=”#00417f” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_width_all=”4px” border_color_all=”#efb217″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Collins, King” global_parent=”3386″ _builder_version=”3.0.89″]<\/p>\n Email<\/a><\/span>\u00a0|\u00a0Facebook<\/a><\/span>\u00a0|\u00a0Twitter Sen.
