House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy is wondering why Ex-DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson didn’t do more to address Russian election interference, given Johnson knew it was a problem before the 2016 election.

Johnson testified about Russia in front of the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday, and Gowdy didn’t let him off the hook for failing to prevent massive election interference.

“[Russia is] a career offender when it comes to attacking the foundations of our Republic,” Gowdy asserted. “They have a history of cyber attacks on our country. You warned before the elections that they may attack our voting infrastructure. After the election President Obama took steps to target Russia.”
