WASHINGTON (AP) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urged Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday to keep Republican candidates from using hacked Democratic documents in this year's election campaigns, the latest political twist in a summer of revelations of digital break-ins believed linked to Russia.
"Russia's cyber attack is an unprecedented assault on the sanctity of our democratic process," Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to the Wisconsin Republican. "We must come together to say that defending our democracy from Russia's meddling is more important than any advantage or disadvantage in this election."
A GOP aide said Ryan cannot control campaign ads by Republican committees that by law are barred from consulting with the party's candidates.
