US President Barack Obama has ordered a "full review" of hacking activities related to last month’s presidential election before he leaves office, Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco said Friday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – She said the report would be shared with members of Congress but did not commit to releasing the results publicly.

"We may have crossed into a new threshold and it is incumbent upon us to take stock of that – to review, to conduct some after-action, to understand what has happened and to impart some lessons learned," Monaco told reporters.
