McConnell gets on board! [View all]

President-elect Donald Trump may have belittled the conclusions of the CIA that Russians hacked the presidential election in Trump’s favor, but Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) backed congressional investigations into the matter Monday.

“Any foreign breech of our cyber-security measures is disturbing, and I strongly condemn any such efforts,” McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill.
