Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urged President-elect Donald Trump to accept the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Russian-backed hackers interfered in the 2016 election after Trump voiced support on Twitter for Julian Assange.

“I don’t believe any American should give a whole lot of credibility to what Mr. Assange says,” Graham said Wednesday on CNN’s “At This Hour." “I hope no American will be duped by him. You shouldn’t give him any credibility. Look at his record in terms of how he treats our country.”

The WikiLeaks founder, whose website published thousands of emails from individuals and organizations in the Democratic Party, has maintained that he has no ties to the Russian government and that WikiLeaks’ immediate source for the emails was not the Russian government or a state party.

“I hope the President-elect will get his information and trust the American patriots who work in the intelligence community, who swear an oath and allegiance to the Constitution,” Graham continued later.
