National security adviser dismisses claims of Russian 2020 interference

Nationwide security adviser Robert O’Brien dismissed claims of Russian interference in the 2020 election on behalf of President Donald Trump, contradicting considerations reportedly brought forward by intelligence officials.

“The nationwide security adviser gets fairly good entry to our intelligence. I have never seen any intelligence that Russia is doing anything to aim to get President Trump reelected,” O’Brien stated in an interview airing Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

O’Brien stated he wasn’t going to “play that Washington recreation” and that he hasn’t seen intelligence or evaluation from the intelligence group supporting claims of interference to help the president.

Stories emerged last week that senior intelligence officials have warned the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is meddling to re-elect Trump, who has been lambasted for having an overly heat relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In 2018, Putin admitted he needed Trump to win the 2016 election but sidestepped answering whether or not he directed his officials to assist.

Trump on Friday referred to as the reviews a hoax, tweeting, “One other misinformation marketing campaign is being launched by Democrats in Congress saying that Russia prefers me to any of the Do Nothing Democrat candidates who still have been unable to, after two weeks, rely their votes in Iowa. Hoax quantity 7!” (It‘s not clear why Trump gave it that number.)

The intelligence officers also stated Russia was interfering in the Democratic primaries to help Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

O’Brien stated he believes nations like Russia and China like to “sow disruption” in the American citizens, nevertheless it doesn’t mean they like a specific candidate.

“The only analysis I heard was reported second-hand from leaks from the House Intelligence Committee,” he stated. “However I've seen zero intelligence that Russia is doing anything to help ... President Trump get reelected. And I do not assume it makes any sense.”

ABC host George Stephanopoulos later requested: “After these stories got here out, you didn't ask to see this analysis?”

“Look, I have been with the leaders of the Intelligence Committee. They do not have it,” O’Brien stated. He added, “All I know is that the Republicans on the aspect of the House listening to have been sad with the listening to and stated that there was no intelligence to again up what was being stated.”

Stephanopoulos countered: “However do not you've got a duty as nationwide safety adviser ... to go discover out? And why is the president calling it disinformation?”

“I do not know, these are leaks. You are basing your assumptions, George, on leaks that came out of a Home Intelligence Committee listening to,” O’Brien stated.
