Schiff, Pelosi predict Russia will interfere in 2018 midterm elections

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Friday warned of the dangers of Russian meddling in the 2018 congressional midterm elections after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian military officials for federal crimes allegedly committed during the 2016 election cycle.

“Not only was the DNC hacked and Clinton’s campaign manager hacked, the DCCC was hacked,” said Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, during an interview on CNN. “The Russians played in House races, which means that if they follow the playbook from the last cycle, they’ll play in the midterms. We obviously need to be doing everything we can to protect against that.”
