White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan acknowledged Sunday the Biden administration is concerned about Russia trying to interfere with the United States presidential elections this November.
Sullivan said the administration will be working with Congress in a bipartisan manner and will work vigilantly to monitor and prevent any interference.
“This is not about politics,” he told NBC News on Sunday. “This is about national security. It is about a foreign country, a foreign adversary, seeking to manipulate the politics and democracy of the United States of America.”
The comment comes after FBI Director Christopher Wray and National Security Agency Director Paul Nakasone warned that Russia was not deterred from interfering with U.S. elections, despite the war in Ukraine.
