MORE: @FBI @CISAgov say #Iran got the voter registration data while deliberately targeting US state websites & state election websites

Once it accessed the data, it used the information in a propaganda video that implied some voters might be casting fraudulent ballots
Despite the now confirmed authenticity of the voter registration data in the video, @DNI_Ratcliffe said last week, “Any claims about such allegedly fraudulent ballots, are not true”

Happening now: "The president deals w/the world as it is-we deal w/dictators & authoritarian regimes as they are, not as we hope them to be" US Nat'l Security Adviser @robertcobrien tells @HudsonInstitute
"We don't turn a blind eye to their conduct expecting somehow that they'll change" per @robertcobrien

"He's done the hard work of strengthening our alliances & in doing so has put substance over style, & he's been criticized for that" he adds
"We think that his actions have demonstrated that the US will no longer be a party to arrangements, organizations, int'l conventions, treaties where our sovereignty is not respected" per @robertcobrien

".. led to demonstrable results that have made the American ppl safer"
