Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement on the White House’s announcement that it will conduct a “full review” of Russian hacking related to the U.S. election:

“I welcome today’s announcement that the White House will conduct a review of Russia’s hacking activities related to the 2016 presidential election.

“Over the past six months I’ve become increasingly concerned by efforts of the Russian government to influence our election, and I agree with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Homeland Security that only the senior-most government officials in Russia could have ordered this effort.

“I believe we need to understand exactly what happened, how it occurred and how we can prevent it from happening again.”
