\n President Donald Trump on Friday confirmed for the first time that the United States launched a cyberattack against the Russian Internet Research Agency in 2018.<\/p>\n

The IRA, a Russian company that deploys online trolls for influence operations, was blamed by U.S. officials for meddling in both the 2016 presidential election and the 2018 midterms.<\/p>\n

Trump confirmed the attack during a two-part interview with Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen. When asked whether the U.S. had launched an attack on the IRA, Trump responded \u201ccorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Washington Post in 2019 reported on the attack, which blocked the IRA\u2019s internet access, but Trump had not previously confirmed U.S. involvement.<\/p>\n

The president went on to criticize former President Obama for not doing enough to address the interference ahead of the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

Obama \u201cknew before the election that Russia was playing around. Or, he was told. Whether or not it was so or not, who knows? And he said nothing,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the reason he said nothing was that he didn\u2019t want to touch it because he thought [Hillary Clinton] was winning because he read phony polls,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, he thought she was going to win. And we had the silent majority that said, \u2018No, we like Trump.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Obama responded to the meddling after the fact, through sanctions on Russians and Russian agencies involved and the expulsion of dozens of diplomats from the country.<\/p>\n

The U.S. intelligence community has concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a cyber campaign in 2016 to interfere in the presidential election and it believes the IRA works at the direction of the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

Robert Mueller\u2019s Russia probe eventually led to Treasury Department sanctions in 2018 against the IRA, its financier, Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, and nearly a dozen others for 2016 election interference.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
