The request from Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) renews a request that Democrats have made for nearly three years.
By Mike DeBonis Mike DeBonis Congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives Email Bio Follow April 24 at 10:24 AM The chairwoman of the House Democrats’ national campaign committee asked her Republican counterpart Wednesday to refrain from using hacked materials to attack candidates ahead of the 2020 elections.
“There is no question that agents of the Russian government and other bad actors will attempt to infiltrate both the DCCC and NRCC to steal information for malicious use again in this upcoming election,” Bustos wrote in a letter to Rep. Tom Emmer , the National Republican Congressional Committee chairman.
Democrats have pointed to an instance where an arm of the NRCC used information hacked by “Guccifer 2.0” — a persona that Mueller and U.S. intelligence officials say was operated by Russian military intelligence — in an ad that ran in a 2016 Florida House race.
