During an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions admitted the Department of Justice currently is unprepared to protect the United States from future election interference.
He also said there is no review underway of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and how to address them.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked Sessions the name of the person at the Justice Department in charge of making suggestions to Congress about what laws needed to change in order to protect the election system from foreign interference.
Sessions said the head of the national security division would be the best person to talk to, but admitted he was not looking into that specific issue.
