| https://mccollum.house.gov/press-release/mccollum-statement-sanctions-against-russia-over-election-attacks | McCollum Statement on White House Actions Responding to Russia's Election Attacks | 2016-12-29 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Democrat | House | MN | Betty McCollum | M001143 | mccollum.house.gov | legacy | Congresswoman Betty McCollum (DFL-Minn.) released the following statement after the White House announced sanctions against Russian officials and government entities for cyber attacks interfering with the 2016 presidential election: "Russian hacking during the 2016 presidential election was an attack on American democracy. Earlier this month, I urged President Obama to respond proportionally, forcefully, and unequivocally, including by applying sanctions and expelling Russian officials. "Today, President Obama did just that: imposing new sanctions on Russia, ejecting Russian operatives from the United States, and preparing to make public the evidence our government has collected that implicates the highest levels of Russia's government in this attack. I strongly support these decisive steps. "Instead of playing partisan games and vilifying our intelligence professionals, President-elect Donald Trump should join us, demand a fully transparent Congressional investigation into this hacking, and maintain strong pressure on Russia's government." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
