House Democrats have introduced a bill calling for the creation of an independent commission to investigate foreign hacking of the U.S. elections, even as the president-elect continues to dispute the intelligence community’s declarations that Russia was behind election hacks.
Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, filed the “Protecting Our Democracy Act,” which would create a “National Commission on Foreign Interference in the 2016 Election.”
