CNN  — 

When President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet at the White House Wednesday as
Washington absorbed news of a massive data breach, the heads of most agencies
relevant to the intrusion — including the Department of Defense, the State
Department, the Justice Department, the director of national intelligence and
the Central Intelligence Agency — were absent.

After the meeting, Trump said nothing about the attack, which went undetected by
his administration’s intelligence agencies for months. As those agencies now
mobilize to assess the damage — which the government said Thursday could be more
widespread than initially thought, posing a “grave risk to the federal
government” — the President himself remains silent on the matter, preoccupied
instead with his election loss and his invented claims of widespread voter
fraud.

The massive data breach, revealed in the final weeks of Trump’s administration,
amounts to a dramatic coda for a presidency clouded by questions of deference to
Russia and unsuccessful attempts to warm relations with its President, Vladimir
Putin. Just as he has largely ignored the latest surge in coronavirus cases,
Trump appears to have all but abdicated responsibility in his final weeks in
office.



The White House has not listed an intelligence briefing on the President’s daily
schedule since early October, though officials say he is regularly briefed on
intelligence even when a formal briefing doesn’t appear on his calendar and a
senior White House official told CNN that Trump was briefed on the hack by his
top intelligence officials on Thursday.


BIDEN BRIEFINGS

Members of President-elect Joe Biden’s staff were also briefed by officials on
the massive intrusion, an official from the Department of Homeland Security’s
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said. Biden himself has also
been given details in his daily classified briefing, which has been listed on
his public schedule each day this week.

“Our adversaries should know that, as President, I will not stand idly by in the
face of cyber assaults on our nation,” Biden said in a statement on Thursday,
making no specific mention of Trump or his administration, but also not naming
Russia as the culprit.

The wide-ranging and extraordinary intrusion by suspected Russian hackers of US
government systems has launched a technical soul-searching mission among the
government’s leading cyber officials and outside experts over how this
months-long, ongoing cyber campaign managed to go undetected for so long.

It wasn’t until Wednesday night that the US government formally acknowledged
that the ongoing cyber campaign was still active. The revelation comes at a
particularly fraught time during a divisive presidential transition and after an
election that had been, by all accounts, free of foreign interference.

It’s unclear when, if at all, Trump may have been briefed on the latest hack.
Nor is it clear how engaged Trump has been in responding. He has left all public
responses to members of his Cabinet and administration. And despite a healthy
pace of tweets about the election results and his false claims of voter fraud,
he has not issued any message about the hack.

Why the US government hack is literally keeping security experts awake at night

Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican who has been a frequent Trump critic, said
Thursday it was “stunning” Trump had not responded yet.

“I think the White House needs to say something aggressive about what happened,”
Romney said. “This is almost as if you had a Russian bomber flying undetected
over the country, including over the nation.”

Trump’s national security adviser Robert O’Brien did cut short a trip to Europe
to return to Washington for urgent meetings on the hack earlier this week, and
the White House has convened daily discussions with national security agencies
related to the intrusion, according to people familiar with the matter.

The House and Senate Intelligence Committees were briefed on the issue
Wednesday, but lawmakers have since made clear that there are still more
questions than answers.

“(The) dirty fact is most entities don’t know they’ve been hacked,” Rep. Mike
Quigley, a Democrat from Illinois who serves on the House Intelligence
Committee, told CNN Thursday.

Senate Republicans on Thursday said they didn’t see an issue in Trump’s silence
while his administration works to get to the bottom of the matter.

“There’s still information gathering occurring, so I’d caution anyone reaching
conclusions or making pronouncements until all that is in,” said Senate
Intelligence Chairman Marco Rubio. “I think there’s a lot that still needs to be
learned about it. I would caution anyone from speaking out too much about
something when there’s still a lot of facts being gathered.


‘A VERY BIG DEAL’

Sen. Josh Hawley, who sits on Senate Armed Services, says he hasn’t been briefed
on the hack. “I’m fine with what they said publicly,” he said of the
administration. “It’s a very big deal. And we certainly need to learn more … I’m
really concerned about it.”

Asked if Trump should address this publicly, Hawley said: “I think the most
important thing is to get report out and let us know the extent of the breach
is. They may be trying to figure that out.”

While Trump has not said anything about the attack, his former homeland security
adviser Tom Bossert urged the President in an op-ed to formally attribute
responsibility and, if Russia is confirmed behind it, “make it clear to Vladimir
Putin that these actions are unacceptable.”

Trump is also threatening to veto the National Defense Authorization Act over a
provision requiring renaming of military bases named for Confederate leaders and
because he wants a provision added to reform liability laws for social media
companies like Twitter. The defense policy bill includes provisions that would
help the US government address cyber threats.

“We have provisions in the bill that he needs in case the hacking, the cyber
threats that are out there,” Senate Armed Services Chairman Jim Inhofe said of
Trump and the NDAA, which he has shepherded. But Inhofe, who has been briefed on
the hack, said he wouldn’t criticize Trump for failing to speak out.

Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat on the panel, also hasn’t been briefed yet but said
he is trying to set one up for himself for Friday.

“I think he should, but frankly I don’t think he will,” Kaine said when asked if
Trump should address it forcefully. “I don’t think we will probably get a
straight answer about the depths of this and what we need to do counter it until
the new administration is in place.”

Christopher Krebs, senior official performing the duties of the under secretary
for the National Protection and Programs Directorate in the Department of
Homeland Security, testifies during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing
concerning the roles and responsibilities for defending the nation against cyber
attacks, on Capitol Hill, October 19, 2017 in Washington, DC.

Christopher Krebs: We prepared for more Russian interference. But this year the
assault on democracy was from within the US

As the contours of the data breach are still coming into view, the incident
underscores how little Trump’s efforts to court Putin have done to improve
relations with Moscow over the past four years. Even as he frustrated his own
advisers by delaying punitive measures and attempting to befriend his Russian
counterpart, Trump ends his term confronted with one Russia’s most brazen
attempts to date at infiltrating American systems.

That is much like how Trump began his presidency, when American intelligence
agencies assessed Russia had worked to influence the 2016 presidential election
on Trump’s behalf. The President’s unwillingness to confront Russia on that
front, or issue any warnings to Putin to not do interfere again, have fueled the
impression among his critics that he is soft on Putin.

A tweet Trump issued in 2017, following his first meeting with Putin on the
sidelines of a G7 meeting in Hamburg, has now come to exemplify the naiveté with
which many in Congress and even inside the administration say Trump approached
Russia.

“Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that
election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded,” he wrote then,
an idea that was mocked at the time and never came to fruition.

While Putin was one of the last world leaders to recognize Biden as the victor
of the US election, he did finally acknowledge the President-elect’s win this
week, saying in a message he was “ready for contacts and interactions with you.”

“We need an honest reset in terms of relationships between the United States and
Russia,” Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, said on Wednesday. “We can’t be
buddies with Vladimir Putin and have him at the same time making this kind of
cyber attack on America. This is virtually a declaration of war by Russia on the
United States, and we should take it that seriously.”


SILENCE

It wasn’t only election meddling that failed to draw condemnation from the
President; he did not raise with Putin the issue of Russia placing bounties on
US soldiers in Afghanistan when he spoke to him over the summer — another issue
that Trump claimed was never contained in his intelligence briefings, even
though officials said it was included a written briefing from February.

After multiple US troops were injured in Syria after what the Pentagon described
as “deliberately provocative and aggressive behavior” by Russian forces, Trump
did not respond. And in October, even after the EU and United Kingdom sanctioned
six top Russian officials close to Putin for the poisoning of Russian opposition
leader Alexei Navalny, Trump did not.

In his book published after leaving the White House on poor terms with Trump,
former national security adviser John Bolton wrote the President privately
complained about sanctions and other punitive measures imposed on Russia.

Bolton listed a bevy of administration actions against Russia, saying Trump
“touted these as major achievements, but almost all of them occasioned
opposition, or at least extended grumbling and complaining, from Trump himself.”

Perpetually frustrated by what he called the “Russia hoax,” Trump has accused
his opponents of trying to stymie good relations with Moscow as they sought to
investigate links between his campaign and Russian election interference.

So annoyed has Trump become at mention of Russian misdeeds that, in the past, he
has resisted intelligence warnings about Russia, leading members of his national
security ream — including those who delivered the President’s Daily Brief — to
brief him less often on Russia-related threats to the US, multiple former Trump
administration officials have told CNN.

When his oral intelligence briefing included information related to Russia’s
malign activities against the United States, Trump often questioned the
intelligence itself.

CNN’s Alex Marquardt, Zachary Cohen, Brian Fung, Jennifer Hansler and Kaitlan
Collins contributed to this report.
