The FBI agrees with the CIA assessment that Russia was involved in hacking of servers of the Democratic party and that of the
Hillary Clinton campaign during the elections, according to a media report.
John Brennan, Director of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) — the top American intelligence agency — said this in an email to CIA staffers, The Washington Post reported on Friday. The email was written after Brennan met the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey and the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper early this week.
“Earlier this week, I met separately with FBI (Director) James Comey and DNI (Director of National Intelligence) Jim Clapper, and there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election,” Brennan said.
