US senators will create an independent commission to investigate cyber attacks

Members of the US Congress from the Democratic Party called for the creation of an independent commission to investigate Kibebaat on the country's electoral system. According to Reuters, the structure will be created according to the model of a commission investigating the attacks on September 11, 2001.

According to the authors of the initiative, an “act in defense of our democracy” should be accepted, creating a two -party independent commission, consisting of 12 people, which should not be in the congress. The purpose of the commission is to study the attempts of Moscow or other structures to influence the elections.

On Tuesday, Republican Senator John McCain, Democrats Senators Ben Cardin and Robert Menandes will submit in the US Congress a bill to introduce a “comprehensive” package of sanctions against Russia.

Meanwhile, according to the head of the press service of the State Department of the United States, John Kirby, the lack of evidence in the declassified version of the US intelligence report was reflected in the desire to protect the sources of information and methods of the American special services. "

“It should not be surprised that in the unequal version the intelligence community defended“ sensitive ”information, especially relating to working with sources and methods,” Kirby said . For the US intelligence, it would be irresponsible to disclose this kind of information. "

At the same time, the representative of the State Department emphasized that the accuracy of the report of the report was confirmed during closed briefings conducted for members of Congress, President Barack Obama and the elected president Donald Trump.

On January 6, a declassified version of the report prepared by the CIA, the FBI and the NSA was posted on the website of the apparatus of the US National Intelligence. It states that Russia's interference in the course of the presidential campaign in the United States was undertaken by the personal instructions of Vladimir Putin. Barack Obama and Donald Trump were familiar with the full version of the report.

The intelligence of Russian interference called the undermining of public confidence in the American presidential election, discrediting a candidate from the Democratic Party Hillary Clinton and the support of her opponent Trump. “We are firmly confident in these conclusions,” the report emphasizes.

Russia, the report says, sought to undermine the liberal-democratic order, the support of which in the world is the United States, since the promotion of democracy Putin and its environment is perceived as a threat to its regime.
