President Trump hasn't given an order to counter Russian meddling, NSA chief says
National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers said that the United States hasn’t done enough to deter Russian meddling in national politics, even as he acknowledged that President Donald Trump hasn’t directed cybersecurity officials to take more aggressive offensive actions against Moscow. “I believe that President Putin has clearly come to the conclusion that, there’s little price to pay here and therefore I can continue this activity,” Rogers told the Senate Armed Services Committee. Rogers’ testimony was a reminder of the gap between the president, who has downplayed Russian interference, and his national security advisors, who have described it as an ongoing threat. “If we don't change the dynamic here, this is going to continue,” Rogers said. “In fairness, you can’t say nothing has been done. And my point is, it hasn't been enough.”
