Former National Security Council staffer Fiona Hill will call Ukrainian 2016 election interference "a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves" in her testimony Wednesday, according to a pre-released copy of her opening statement.
"The unfortunate truth is that Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016," Hill's statement reads. "This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan Congressional reports. It is beyond dispute, even if some of the underlying details must remain classified.
"The impact of the successful 2016 Russian campaign remains evident today. Our nation is being torn apart. Truth is questioned. Our highly professional and expert career foreign service is being undermined," the statement continues.
