The nation's top intelligence official testified
Thursday that Russian agents interfered in the U.S. election — and
dismissed the credibility of WikiLeaks' Julian Assange a day after the
president-elect appeared to back him over the intelligence community.
Foreign policy hawk Sen. John McCain, the
committee's chairman, opened the hearing by declaring the Russian
interference an "unprecedented attack on our democracy" and warning that
"every American should be alarmed by Russia's attacks on our nation.".
The high-stakes Senate Armed Services Committee's hearing came after
Donald Trump continued to cast doubt Wednesday on intelligence findings
that Russia hacked Democratic National Committee emails. It also comes
on a day in which lawmakers were being briefed on the breadth and depth
of Russian interference in the American election.
NBC News confirms President Obama has received and was orally briefed on the report on Thursday.
