McMaster: "They're actually aiding and abetting our adversaries"

Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said Tuesday that political leaders undermine national security when they cast doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections for partisan gain.

"What happens too often, whether it's the president or whether it's certain members of Congress of both political parties, when they raise doubt about elections, they're actually doing the bidding of our adversaries," he said in response to a question from Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee.

"I think any time a political leader compromises confidence in our democratic processes to score partisan points, I think that they're actually aiding and abetting our adversaries who want to reduce that confidence."
