Obama Never Warned State Election Officials Of Russian Election ‘Hacking’

"Neither former President Barack of Obama nor any member of his cabinet warned state election officials of any Russian effort to hack or interfere with the country’s electoral systems, according to the president of the National Association of Secretaries of State. 'We did ask,' Denise Merrill, Connecticut secretary of state and the association’s top official, told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group Wednesday. 'And over-and-over again, they did say there was no credible threat that they had found. And they said that right through the election, and the next administration reiterated that.' Merrill is a Democrat who previously served as majority leader in the Connecticut House of Representatives."
