Justice Department launches task force to examine election interference

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday announced the creation of a cyber task force to study election interference efforts, and wants the group to issue a report by the end of June.

Sessions’ announcement didn’t specifically mention Russia, which is the subject of several investigations after the U.S. intelligence community released an assessment that it interfered with the 2016 presidential election. But Sessions did note that “enemy governments” are able to exploit the Internet achieve that goal.
