WASHINGTON – Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Mark R. Warner (D-VA) issued a statement after the U.S. government announced criminal charges and other actions related to Iran’s attempts to influence the elections:

“Today’s announcement once again underscores the extent to which adversaries like Iran are actively seeking to influence the outcome of our elections using a wide range of tools. I applaud the intelligence community and law enforcement for today’s actions, which are exposing those responsible and, most importantly, are raising the American public’s awareness to be on guard against attempts by our foreign adversaries to influence their votes.”
