In a statement provided to PoliticusUSA, Rep. Boyle quickly moved to stop Trumps efforts, President Trumps social media statement today that he would involve Russian President Vladimir Putin in a cybersecurity effort to protect our elections defies any shred of basic human logic and common sense. Under no circumstances can we allow the Russian government to learn our strategy and techniques for defending our cyber security. This week during the congressional session, I will introduce legislation to prohibit the United States from participating in any type joint working group with Russia on cybersecurity efforts. Hiring Mr. Putin to protect our electoral process is like a group of homeowners hiring a security guard to protect them after that individual has broken into their homes.
