Top State official to senators: No vidence of Ukraine interference in 2016 election

David Hale, the third-ranking State Department official who testified recently as part of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry, told senators on Tuesday that he has not seen any evidence to support GOP claims that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election.

Hale, the under secretary of State for political affairs, also told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he did not have any reason to disagree with Fiona Hill, a former top White House Russia expert who told House lawmakers last month that Russian security services were propagating a "fictional narrative" of Ukraine interference.

Shortly after Hill testified, U.S. intelligence officials reportedly briefed senators and their aides that Russia was behind a years-long campaign in which they sought to cast blame on Kyiv for interfering in the 2016 election, in an apparent effort to divert scrutiny for carrying out an influence campaign and hacking during the presidential race.

An intelligence community assessment — as well as the House and Senate Intelligence panels — concluded that Russia was behind the 2016 meddling.

Politico also reported this week that, in 2017, the Senate Intelligence Committee found no evidence that Ukraine carried out a systematic effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump has also pushed a debunked conspiracy theory about CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that led the investigation into the DNC server following the Russian-led hacking.

And while most of the president's allies have distanced themselves from the CrowdStrike claim, the president has continued to assert that the DNC turned over its server to a “Ukrainian company,” which he suggests framed Russia for the attack when it should've been conducting forensics of the cyber intrusion. But the company was co-founded by a Russian, and experts have dismissed such claims.
