"The Trump DHS, like under the Obama administration, has declined to share the intelligence assessment of which states were actually compromised, according to state election officials."
"This month, in an exclusive interview with NBC News, Jeanette Manfra, the current head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said that 'an exceptionally small number' of those 21 states 'were actually successfully penetrated.' But Manfra declined to answer questions about the classified intelligence assessment, or to say specifically how many states had been penetrated."
"Top election officials from all 50 states met in Washington this month for a National Association of Secretaries of State conference and received temporary security clearances for a classified threat briefing from intelligence officials. According to two officials present, one from the intelligence community and the other a state official, the actual intelligence on state compromises was not shared."
It's WMDs all over again. Going by the track record of "US intel", they need to put up or shut up.
