In Push for 2020 Election Security, Top Official Was Warned: Don’t
Tell Trump
WASHINGTON - In the months before Kirstjen Nielsen was forced to
resign, she tried to focus the White House on one of her highest
priorities as homeland security secretary: preparing for new and
different Russian forms of interference in the 2020 election.
President Trump’s chief of staff told her not to bring it up in front
of the president.
...
...
But in a meeting this year, Mick Mulvaney, the White House chief of
staff, made it clear that Mr. Trump still equated any public
discussion of malign Russian election activity with questions about
the legitimacy of his victory. According to one senior administration
official, Mr. Mulvaney said it "wasn’t a great subject and should be
kept below his level."
