'The evidence is now incontrovertible': NSA head McMaster undercuts Trump over Russia election meddling

A day after it was announced that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for interfering in the 2016 presidential election, the president's national security adviser said that it Russia meddling was abundantly clear.

"As you can see with the FBI indictment, the evidence is now really incontrovertible and available in the public domain, whereas in the past it was difficult to attribute for a couple of reasons," National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

He added, "Whereas in the past, it was difficult to attribute for a couple of reasons. First, technically it was difficult. But then also you didn't want to divulge your intelligence capabilities. Now that this is in the arena of a law enforcement investigation, it's going to be very apparent to everyone."
