White House Vows ‘Proportional’ Response for Russian DNC Hack

The White House vowed to hit Russia with a “proportional” response after the conclusion by U.S. intelligence officials that Moscow hacked into emails from the Democratic National Committee and other organizations, then leaked thousands of files to interfere with the outcome of the presidential election.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday that President Barack Obama is considering “a range of responses” but isn't likely to announce one in advance.

“The president has talked before about the significant capabilities that the U.S. government has to both defend our systems in the United States but also carry out offensive operations in other countries,” he said.
