(25 Jul 2018) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he has personally told top Russian officials that there will be "severe consequence" for any interference in US elections or the American democratic process.
Pompeo told skeptical members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that he had made the warning clear to Russia in multiple meetings and conversations.
Pompeo made the comment in response to pointed questions about details of President Donald Trump's one-on-one meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin last week in Finland.
Both Republican and Democratic members of the committee demanded details from Pompeo about the summit for which the White House has offered only vague outlines.
Republican committee chairman Bob Corker opened the hearing by saying Pompeo was appearing before senators who have "serious doubts" of Trump and his foreign policy.
