Biden rips Trump over 'irrational downplaying' of massive Russia hack

Source: NBC News

Biden, speaking to reporters in Wilmington, Delaware., ripped Trump for an "irrational downplaying of the seriousness of this attack," and called the massive breach a “grave risk to our national security."

“The truth is this: the Trump administration failed to prioritize cybersecurity,” Biden said. “This assault happened on Donald Trump’s watch, when he wasn’t watching.”

He added that he saw “no evidence it is under control,” pointing out that Trump “hasn’t even identified who is responsible yet.”

Biden said the Department of Defense had not briefed his transition team on the attack and vowed that when he does learn “the extent of the damage,” he would, as president, respond “in kind.”
