Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, dodged questions Sunday on whether the president-elect will punish Russia for its interference in the presidential election.
“I told you earlier and I’ll repeat it now,” Conway told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, “He’s not the president yet. All of you insist one president at a time. … When he becomes president and meets with his security intelligence team, he as President Trump will make a decision on what to do.”
Conway said there is no evidence Russia’s hacking affected the eleciton result.
“There is no evidence that Russia succeeded in any alleged attempt to disrupt our democracy or, in fact, to influence the election results,” she said.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a declassified report to the public on Friday that concluded Russia tried to help elect Trump by “discrediting” Hillary Clinton.
The report did not assess whether the hacking helped Trump win.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress on Thursday that “we have no way of gauging the impact … it had on the choices the electorate made.”
