## Transcript

We will not tolerate Russian interference in our 2018 elections. Much work has been done. There's more to do. Rest assured that we will take the appropriate countermeasures in response to the continued Russian efforts. Has the administration done enough to deter encountering Russian interference in our next election, which is only six months away? There's more work to do. We have not, we have not been able to achieve deterrence, effective deterrence of some of these efforts of the Russians but this administration has taken enormous efforts to push back against Russia that haven't been done in awfully a long time.

Either here in the United States or frankly from our partners who are even more threatened by Russia than we are in Europe and elsewhere.
