Russia is reported to be meddling with the French election, just like it did with the US election. US Senate Intelligence chief, Senator Richard Burr reveal the latest attack by the Putin government, who has been strongly tied with meddling with the election that made Donald Trump the US president.
Richard said;
What we might assess was a very covert effort in 2016 in the United States, is a very overt effort, as well as covert, in Germany and France. I remind you that we're within 30 days of the first French election, with four candidates. It will go down to two candidates with a runoff in May.
I think it's safe by everybody's judgment that the Russians are actively involved in the French elections.
So we feel part of our responsibility is to educate the rest of the world about what's going on, because it's now into character assassination of candidates.
