Biden: Washington would "send a message" to Putin for "intervention" in US elections
The vice president of the United States Joe Biden rejected the objections, according to which the White House did not respond to Russia's intervention efforts in American elections, saying that the president Vladimir Putin will take "a message".
To quote an interview on NBC made public on Friday (US time) Biden makes a pause, then smiling ironically when asked why the US government has not yet received any official measure, a week after US officials accused Moscow that tries to intervene in the American election campaign.
"We send a message" to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden said. "We have the ability to do and the message will be sent, will know and will be in accordance with our timetable and under circumstances that will have the most significant impact." Asked if the public knows, Biden replied laconically: "I hope not."
Recall that last week the US government accused Moscow of interfering in the presidential elections in the US orchestrating the recent hijackings e-mail accounts personalities and American institutions.
"These violations and these hijackings have to intervene in the American electoral process," the direction of American intelligence (ODNI) announce a very strict tone adopted on October 7. "We believe, given the sensitive nature of these initiatives, that only high-ranking Russian officials could give permission for such activities." The White House announced Tuesday that Washington will give an "adequate" response to this intervention.
