Obama On Russian Hacking: ‘We Need To Take Action. And We Will’ | Morning Edition | NPR

In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep, Obama said, “I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections … we need to take action. And we will — at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized; some of it may not be.”
