Trump Aide 'Concerned' Russia May Be Trying to Undermine Biden

The U.S. government is “concerned” about a report that Russia may be attempting to undermine Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, President Donald Trump’s top national security official said Sunday.

Trump has warned his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, not to conduct any such election tampering, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said on ABC’s “This Week.”
“He’s absolutely told Putin to make sure that that doesn’t happen,” he said.

O’Brien was asked about a Bloomberg News report on Friday that U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials are assessing whether Russia is trying to undermine Biden’s 2020 campaign with an ongoing disinformation operation.

“Look, I don’t want Russians, or Chinese, or Iranians or any others interfering with the Trump campaign, with the Biden campaign, with any campaign,” O’Brien said. “And I think the president feels absolutely the same way.”

O'Brien is a one trick Pony and not a good one at that. Of Course the Interviewer never asked any follow up questions. Just grinned and went on to a different topic blaming the previous administration for giving Iran all their Money back that was ordered by our Courts to return.
