Smucker Statement on Russia

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-16) today issued the following statement:

“Safe, secure, and sound elections are critical to our democracy. Our intelligence community is filled with men and women determined to protect the United States from both foreign and domestic threats. Because of their hard work, we know that Russia interfered in our 2016 election in an attempt to dismantle the integrity of our democratic system and sow divisions throughout our country. President Trump must acknowledge this fact, stand up to President Putin, and act. Failing to do so will only encourage further attempts to infiltrate our elections.”
