WASHINGTON (Sputnik) —Pelosi said she knows “for sure it is the Russians,” and likened the hack to “an electronic Watergate.”
“I know it [the cyber attack] is broad in terms of affecting the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee [DCCC]…and that it is the Russians,” Pelosi told reporters in a press conference.
On Wednesday, US media reported that the hack was more widespread than previously thought, targeting the DNC, the DCCC, and at least 100 party officials.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken the lead in determining the source and scope of the hack. The agency has not publicly released any conclusions.
The White House said earlier in August that the FBI has not yet released any particular results of its probe into the DNC emails' hack.
