Former Homeland Security Sec. Blames Access Hollywood Scandal For Russia Failure

Description

On Wednesday lawmakers heard from Jeh Johnson, the former Homeland Security secretary, under President Barack Obama, Johnson said that the Obama administration's warnings about Russia's campaign to interfere in the 2016 US election was overshadowed by the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape, where then candidate Trump is seen and heard discussing grabbing female body parts at his leisure. Johnson made his remarks during testimony before a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on election security. "It was below-the-fold news the next day because of the release of the 'Access Hollywood' video." Johnson went on to say: "I was expecting follow-up from a number of journalists, and we never got that because everyone was focused on the campaign, and the video, and the debate that Sunday."

Speaking in Moscow on Tuesday, Russian Minister of Sports Vitali Mutko commented on the World Anti-Doping Agency's report which alleges to have uncovered state-sponsored doping programmes for Russian athletes at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. He slammed WADA, saying that it became a "punitive organisation" and it "places itself above the movement: it dictates the rules, it extends the lists and includes an endless amount of medication into the lists, it doesn't care about athletes, about their health".
