Trump Administration Hasn't Finished, or Started, Russian Hacking Report It Said Would Be Done by Now

By Ben Mathis-Lilley

After a much-hyped Jan. 6 meeting with U.S. intelligence officials to discuss Russia's purported involvement in hacking Hillary Clinton-related emails, then-president-elect Trump released a statement promising that he would appoint a team that, within 90 days of his taking office, would release a plan to "aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks." On Jan. 13, he sent some tweets suggesting that this plan would also be a "report" that got to the bottom of Russia's role in the hacking:

It's now been 90 days since Trump took office, so Politico checked in on the matter. They found that not only is there no report, but that neither the White House national security team nor Trump cybersecurity adviser Rudy Giuliani appear to have even been working on one:

The National Security Council would normally be involved in creating such a report. But on Wednesday, a NSC spokesperson told POLITICO that he was unaware if the NSC was in charge of compiling it, or if that responsibility fell to Giuliani — or if the report exists.

Giuliani is continuing his work talking to the private sector, but a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor confirmed that he is not involved in any 90-day report.
