Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., on Sunday called out President Donald Trump for not criticizing Russia’s role in a massive cyber attack, saying he’s not “making our country safer.”
In an interview on ABC News “This Week,” Warner said Russia “came away with a big, big haul.”
”We're still determining how extensive this attack will be,” he said. “It will take us literally weeks to continue to ferret this out and then potentially months to remediate … we have narrowed this to companies and agencies that we know the bad guys got in, but they got in and were in for a long time. So, they're very deep.”
Warner said it also “may be ongoing.”
“This is extraordinarily serious, and when the President of the United States tries to deflect or is not willing to call out the adversary as we make that attribution, he is not making our country safer,” Warner warned.
Also, Warner declared COVID-19 finance relief is on its way.
“The great news is Congress is not going to be the Grinch,” he said. “We're going to get this package done. And I'm very proud that in many ways this package only came about because a bipartisan group of Senators spent a month working hard, showing the American people that we can actually do things when we have such an amazing need.
“Folks who are going to run out of unemployment the day after Christmas, or potentially get kicked out of their apartment, or those long lines at the food banks, help is on the way,” he said.
