Trump Signs Order to Punish Election Interference
September 12, 2018 at 12:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
President Trump “signed an executive order mandating that sanctions be placed on foreign entities or individuals determined to have interfered with or have assisted with interference in U.S. elections,” The Hill reports.
“The order, which comes just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections, will direct U.S. intelligence agencies to investigate whether the election meddling took place. The sanctions would automatically be triggered against a foreign government if they are found to have interfered or influenced elections.”
Washington Post: “Lawmakers of both parties immediately said the effort does not go far enough.”
