Trump Admin Keeps POTUS In The Dark About US Cyber Attacks On Russia's Energy Grid

Description

CNN reports the US is escalating cyber attacks on Russia's electric power grid. Not only that, the New York Times reports the US has placed potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system. Two administration officials say they believe President Donald Trump wasn't briefed about the US computer code being implanted inside the Russian grid. Pentagon and intelligence officials described to the Times "broad hesitation" to tell Trump about the details of the operations against Russia. The incursion into the Russian electric power grid seems to have been conducted under new legal authorities in the military authorization bill passed by Congress last year.
