White House will release report on Russian hacking to public next week

The public will get to see an unclassified version of the intelligence community’s report on Russian hacking by early next week, the director of national intelligence said on Thursday.

President Obama had requested that the report, which is expected to give the public an idea of what influence Russia had on the U.S. election, be released before his term ends on Jan. 20, a deadline the intelligence community seems poised to meet. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the public version of the report from the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency will be released next week and briefed to Congress.
