Sen McCain: Armed Services panel continues to address Russian cyber threats

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) said the panel will work to combat Russia's disinformation campaign that aims to undermine democratic governments and sow division and dissent throughout the United States. “We know that Putin’s Russia has not slowed its efforts to interfere in our elections and domestic affairs. The Senate Armed Services Committee will continue working to address this challenge, which is a threat to our national security,” Sen McCain said. Sen McCain said he is a victim of one of Russia's targeted ads, which planted a false narrative that he met with a leader from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
