President-elect Donald Trump continued to question whether Russia was involved in cyber attacks against the United States, saying on New Year's Eve that he wants to be sure the intelligence community analysis is correct, and adding that he "knows a lot about hacking."
"Well, I just want them to be sure, because it's a pretty serious charge, and I want them to be sure. And if you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong," the president-elect said, when asked why he seems to doubt the intelligence analysis that Russia is behind the hacking, referring to the intelligence cited about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction leading up to the Iraq War.
Arriving at his New Year's bash Saturday at Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump also doubled down on cyber security claims that computers are partially to blame, telling reporters that no computer is safe from hacking and secure messages should instead be sent via courier.
"It's very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old fashioned way because I'll tell you what, no computer is safe," said the president-elect said when asked about the importance of cyber security. "I don't care what they say, no computer is safe. I have a boy who's 10 years old, he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier."
After midnight bells rang on 2017, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on ABC's "This Week" questioning on whether Russian hacking fits the crime, in question, "What is the magnitude of this?"
