The White House said on Friday the intelligence review ordered by President Barack Obama on cyber attacks involving US elections will go beyond the November 8 vote and will include the 2008 election.
"What the president asked for is a review to look at malicious cyber activity tied to our presidential election cycle," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said at a news briefing.
"It will be broader than just looking at this past election."
White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser Lisa Monaco told reporters:
"The President has directed the Intelligence Community to conduct a full review of what happened during the 2016 election process. It is to capture lessons learned from that and to report to a range of stakeholders."
