The FBI is supporting the CIA's conclusion that Russia interfered in the presidential election with the goal of supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump.
In a message sent to employees, CIA Director John Brennan said he had spoken with FBI Director James Comey and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.
Brennan said in the message that "there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election."
A U.S. official who had seen the unclassified message from Brennan confirmed it to The Associated Press on Friday.
President Barack Obama is promising that the U.S. will retaliate against Russia for its suspected meddling in America's election process, an accusation the Kremlin has vehemently denied.

Comey didn’t say anything!!!
Yes, and also notice that the hearsay is not very specific.
The left media and Brennan are a bunch of weasels.
If the Russians Hack the Election How did Hillary win the Popular Vote?
The Clintons are like STDs. You must address the problem. It does not go away by itself.
I’m beginning to believe this whole media-orchestrated hysteria about Russia is nothing but a Clinton PR blitz to make the Democratic Party’s progressive base blame anyone and everything except their atrocious candidate for their loss in November.
Just like Intelligence all concluded that Iraq had WMDs.
Ahh ... the actual words in this MISLEADING article do NOT support the title of the piece. Anyone else notice that?
The words in the article certainly are not saying they support the NY Slimes & Washington Compost reports on “leaks from unnamed CIA sources”.
Just in time for the talking head Sunday morning shows.
RE: Remember that hacking is covert illegal access to info systems data to change that data and thus an impact a result.
OK, I’d like someone to educate me -— in my part of the word ( Long Island, NY ), the voting machines are STAND ALONE machines that are NOT CONNECTED to any network.
I suspect most other voting machines are similar.
How can the Russians hack to machines like these? You have to physically tamper with the insides of the machine ( e.g. change a circuit board or memory device ) to do it.
No, Unnamed sources telling a willing stodge in the Fake media that is what Brennan, Comey and Clapper said.
For all we know the “sources” exist only in the feverish mind of the reporter who published this lie and who is being endlessly quoted by the other Fake News outlets.
Smoke and mirrors. John Brennan is claiming this in a memo to CIA employees. Hearsay.
Can’t wait until Trump takes the stage in Orlando in four hours. Doubt very much if he’ll let this pass without blasting their conclusions.
Will Trump have the power to remove all three of those people?
LOL, true...
What a screwed up administration this is.
This squabble in public, should just about terrify foreign leaders.
This Russia hacking ruse is clearly their “Nuclear Option” for delegitimizing this last election and pressuring “Electors” to defect.
Who is stupid enough to believe a word these soon to be unemployed stooges says?
CIA Director John Brennan said . . .
That’s one hell of a source!
...after FBI Director James Comey was thrashed by Obama.
A US official (Obama admin?) says that John Brennan says he talked to Comey and Clapper and they all agree. That’s fact in today’s news.
so Barry’s admin, fails to protect our election process from hackers, but Clinton was positive her server hadn’t been hacked.
Clinton and crew know, she’s probably on a hit list after taking all that money for favors that she cannot repay. The Dem machine is in panic mode. They all thought they were the incumbent.
