WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee (all times local):
10:35 a.m.
Former Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson says it would have been “unforgiveable” not to alert the American public ahead of the 2016 election that the Russians hacked Democratic email systems.
Johnson is testifying before the House intelligence committee.
Johnson says a lot of internal discussion and consideration preceded an October statement about the hacking from his department and the director of national intelligence. He says they didn’t want to compromise sources and methods of intelligence collection.
