FILE - In this Jan. 19, 2020, file photo Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives for a conference on Libya at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany. A whistleblower’s allegation that he was pressured to suppress intelligence about Russian election interference is the latest in a series of similar accounts involving former Trump administration officials, raising concerns the White House risks undercutting efforts to stop such intrusions if it plays down the seriousness of the problem.
designed to call out foreign influence campaigns aimed at American voters. But Trump’s resistance to embracing the gravity of the threat could leave the administration without a consistent and powerful voice of deterrence at the top of the government heading into an election that U.S. officials say isRussian President Vladimir Putin “is not deterred,” said Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, a Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee.
The department denied Murphy’s allegation, and the White House issued a statement describing instances in which it said the president had it taken action against Russia.
WE are the news now! WeThePeople. YOU are FakeNewsMedia and lie with every open mouth and every keystroke typed.
FakeNews
What more do you people need... this man is as bad as they come..there can’t be this much smoke without the fire.. how many of his cohorts have been sent to jail or kept out because of who their friends are? I can tell you who you are by the company you keep
You in the media are the only ones who care. Only way the avg person cares is if they change votes. Russia has zero effect on how I vote. Crazy Democrat polices are what I vote against. Like most people.
NEWS FLASH! Your so-called 'whistleblower' was let go because he was ILLEGALLY SPYING on journalist that had different political views! He was a democrat operative that continued obama & biden's spying operation!
If they would have did a man like this in Russia you I'm willing to bet that the child molester would have got put the death along with the deputy sheriff that played along with the b*******for no good b****
I hate to say it America but this is a real boss right here the president or the man that runs Russia Mr Putin is a real boss unlike these down boys we got here in America you see you don't go for that g-string s*** and his money is super long
theyre not taking it seriously because theyre helping them be there for another four years
Cmon AP, I thought you were neutral?
NEW YORK POST It looks like President Obama ordered up phony RussiaGate FAKED COLLUSION scandal FISA SPYING against TRUMP! To fix the election!
Six examples of Obama administration spying on Trump camp This clears Trump and his administration of any Russian collusion!
Mueller and FBI Director Comey's Dirty FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith guilty plea as part of investigation led by John Durham, the U.S. attorney origins of the FBI's investigation into possible ties DEEP STATE on Trump campaign faked Russian collusion!
here's something dems will hate: Trump's 1000 times more resistant to bribes than Biden - as a math matter. For a bribe , you must weigh the amount vs the 'lose it all' risk Simple math tells you America is 1000x safer from that type of corruption wt Trump vs Biden
FAKE NEWS!!! Try Harder! AP is trash
Why aren’t stories like these considered election interference?
🤣🤣🤣... really... are we doing this again⁉️
Or is it another Schiff worker bee.
Obama said he didn't disclose intelligence about Russian interference in 2016 because he was concerned it would affect the election. He disclosed immediately AFTER the election.
Trump administration worse ever 😼
pldLMT It raises questions about cooperation, not ineptitude.
AP: no facts but we love the drama
So...AP....when we learn the whistleblower is connected, and is just making stuff up instead of actually having substance (again)....where will you bury that tiny little bit?
trump knows he can’t get re-elected without Russian interference.
AP just caught and overtook CNN as the fake news leader. Water carriers the lot.
Bunch of horse manure. Read Abuse and Power by Carter Page and find out how low and subversive the Obama/Biden office went to stop realDonaldTrump from becoming President.
The dems must be badly behind in the polls.
The Party of Karl Marx is a bigger threat to our elections than Russia.
'How seriously they're taking the threat'? They enabled the meddling in 2016 (manafort gave campaign info to a Russian agent, Trump Tower, Stone, PDop), and are actively enabling it again.
Barr claims CHINA is the Real Threat because it FITS Trump Narrative ... Its a FACT, Trump has Affinity for Russia and is afraid of Putin.
They ignore the'threat' of Russian interference. They rely on the 'promise' of the same.
I heard that Donald Trump is gay and that his dream lover is Putin! Has anyone else heard this rumour?
This administration is not adverse to interference as long as it benefits them. Positively Machiavellian -- the ends justifies the means.
Raise questions? Raise questions? NO QUESTIONS! Russia is helping him! No damn questions except what can we do!
More election noise from the left who will do anything, including destroying our country, to keep their corrupt asses in power and out of jail.
The administration is trying to downplay Russian collusion like they downplay the Coronavirus.

RT to RealDonaldTrump..DonaldJTrumpJr..FoxandFriends...SeanHannity...RushLimbaugh...BreitbartNews
YAWN
Presenting the right as anything other than villains intent on world domination and genocide is disingenuous. They are the threat, working together with agents across the world to consolidate power.
The Administration benefits from it, why would they do anything about it
Probably a lie.
AP worries about election interference from foreign threats but doesn’t give a sht about mail in voting
Oh right, we’re getting close to the election again so the libs are on their horses crying, “The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!” Just in case...🙄 Question:Whom will you blame I’d Biden wins? Or, will the dreaded Russians become a non-issue.🤔
Putin couldn’t have gotten a better patsy than Trump, except for maybe Roger Stone, Kushner or Ivanka.
I’m not taking it seriously either
I’m alot more worried about the Democrat Party election interference than foreign interference
Blah blah Russia.
I'm sure Humpty Trumpty is taking it very seriously If he wins with Putin's help You can bet 'Trump Tower Moscow' will raise it's 100 stories on the Moscow skyline
Would this whistleblower be one of Hilary's list of Epstein guests?
💤💤💤💤💤🙄
More fake news.
Russian election interference still means Facebook ads no matter how sinister you make it sound. Our own media has a monopoly on Election interference through 24/7 disinformation.
Trump knows he cannot win without assistance from the entirety of the Russian intelligence services. He needed them to lose by 3 million votes in 2016 and steal office while lying about routine communication between his team and Russian operatives.
The political partnership between Democrats and Russia cannot be overstated.
This is why you have no creditability. You even saw the fake RepAdamSchiff lead impeachment and it failed. Maybe if you provided REAL INFORMATIVE news we could listen
They know it’s the only way Trump can win. Why do you think Ivanka has Chinese voting machine patents and Trump is screaming that people need to vote in person?
Russian meddles to help this Administration, so why they bother?
Where is the story regarding the Mueller team erasing, wiping, destroying, breaking etc their 20-27 official cellular phones? This is far worse. Let’s hear a real story! realDonaldTrump VP POTUS
. MAGA....MOSCOW AGENT GOVERNING AMERICA... GOPutin Party .
Raise questions? Stop dancing around the facts in front of your face. He a traitor, a criminal & should be arrested
It's pretty clear what this administration's goal is - keep sucking up to Putin, blame everyone else.
Do you really think the administration wasn't aware of Russian Interference? REALLY?
There were no questions about how seriously this administration is taking the threat. It's not a threat to them...it's an opportunity. One they want and need.
'raise questions'.. ridiculous
They're encouraging it through silence and I'm sure cheering it on in private.
Yawn
I am sure they take it VERY seriously.
