The Department of Homeland Security made the rare move Monday to officially discredit an NBC News report that claimed a top Trump official found that Russians successfully penetrated the voter registration rolls of several U.S. states prior to the 2016 presidential election.
In a statement, DHS said the breaking news report was not only wrong and hyped but is also being ripped by other media. In the report, NBC interviewed Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, who said, We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated.
In the statement, Manfra said, let me be clear: we have no evidence old or new - that any votes in the 2016 elections were manipulated by Russian hackers.

They knew this in November 2016.
There is NO evidence the Russians hacked or changed any votes for Trump.
IOW, the Obama intelligence community brass lied and the fake news media ran with it.
No real evidence has been produced of Russian meddling/collusion. All we have are unsupported assertions repeated as fact.
An age-old logical fallacy known as the circular argument.
I could have told them this months ago ............................ And saved the US Tax payer Millions wasted on tons of BS.
Gee, I’ll bet Lester Holt and Katy Tur are shocked....truth could hurt them and fry their liberal brains.
If only they were as concerned about socialist infiltration of higher education.
The Nothing But Crap Network F/U s yet again. Pathetic bunch of hack morons.
I’m sure their money goes to support it.
Democrats and CNN see Russians under every bed... every day.
Keepin’ an eye on NBC and the deranged peacock.. They’re hiring former Obama admin. officials such as smiley-faced Brennan. Suspicious.
No matter what MSM network you turn to, they’re loaded with ex-Obama Administration officials.
Talk about impartiality.
“DHS pushes back on NBC, ‘no evidence’ Russians ‘manipulated’ elections”
I agree no ‘manipulation’, but still it’s difficult to assess who to believe given the choice of Deep State versus Hillary.
Not to smart. NBC is going to fix its image by hiring Brennan. Hanging that albatross around their neck will be a really good look for the network.
But, but, but...
but i DO remember Georgia saying the NSA was trying to enter it's voting database on election night!
Hussein’s DHS was doing the hacking.
Don’t they have a broadcasting license that can have pulled?
I watched Chuck Todd talking about this yesterday. A lot was said about the 2016 elections having been “tampered with”, but not a word was said about the fact that 0bama was in charge at that time - just insinuation that Trump is allowing it to continue, unchecked.
Good. Wouldn’t abandoning Soros voter machines and passing a law for voter ID solve this issue?
We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated.
And if they were honest about it, they couldn’t say with 100% accuracy that it wasn’t the CIA doing the hacking with hacking tools that left incriminating evidence indicating the “Russians hacked our elections”.
