that ‘‘these thefts and disclosures are intended to inter-
fere with the U.S. election process’’; 
Whereas, on January 6, 2017, the Office of the Director of 
National Intelligence, on behalf of all 17 intelligence 
agencies, released an unclassified report entitled ‘‘Assess-
ing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. 
Elections’’, which included analysis by the Central Intel-
ligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 
the National Security Agency that asserted ‘‘Russian 
President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign 
in 2016 aimed at the U.S. Presidential election. Russia’s 
goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. demo-
cratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her 
electability and potential presidency’’; 
Whereas the unclassified report from the intelligence commu-
nity found that ‘‘Putin and the Russian Government de-
veloped a clear preference for President-elect Trump’’ as 
well as ‘‘aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election 
chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton 
and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him’’. On No-
vember 11, 2017, the Central Intelligence Agency, led by 
then-Director Mike Pompeo, issued a statement saying 
‘‘The director stands by and has always stood by the 
January 2017 intelligence community assessment’’ and 
that ‘‘the intelligence assessment with regard to Russian 
election meddling has not changed’’; 
Whereas, on May 16, 2018, Richard M. Burr, the Chairman 
of the Senate Intelligence Committee, stated ‘‘There is no 
doubt that Russia undertook an unprecedented effort to 
interfere with our 2016 elections’’; 
Whereas, on March 22, 2018, the Permanent Select Com-
mittee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives
