WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has requested insight authorities to direct an expansive survey of decision season cyberattacks, including the email hacks that shaken the presidential battle and raised new worries about Russia's intruding in U.S. races, the White House said Friday.
The survey, drove by insight organizations, will be a "profound jump" into a conceivable example of expanded "noxious digital movement" coordinated to the crusade season, White House representative Eric Schultz said. The survey will take a gander at the strategies, targets, key on-screen characters and the U.S. government's reaction to the late email hacks, and in addition occurrences reported in past decisions, he said.
The president requested up the report recently and asked that it be finished before he leaves office one month from now, Schultz said.
"The president needed this done under his supervision since he considers it important," he said. "We are focused on guaranteeing the uprightness of our decisions."
U.S. knowledge authorities have blamed Russia for hacking into Democratic authorities' email accounts trying to meddle with the presidential battle. The Washington Post reported Friday that the CIA has presumed that Russia pointed particularly to help Donald Trump win the administration.
The Post said the CIA introduced its appraisal to congresspersons a week ago. The daily paper's report refered to unknown U.S. authorities who were advised on that shut entryway meeting.
Trump's move group was contemptuous of the hacking claims Friday night, discharging an announcement alluding to insight operators as "similar individuals that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass pulverization."
The Kremlin has rejected the hacking allegations.
In the months paving the way to the decision, email records of Democratic Party authorities and a top Hillary Clinton battle associate were broken, messages spilled and humiliating and private messages posted on the web. Numerous Democrats trust the hackings profited Trump's offered. Trump has minimized the likelihood that Russia was included.
Schultz said the president looked for the test as a method for enhancing U.S. safeguard against cyberattacks and was not planning to scrutinize the authenticity of Trump's triumph.

"This is not a push to challenge the result of the race," Schultz said.
Obama's turn comes as Democratic legislators have been pushing Obama to declassify more data about Russia's part, expecting that Trump, who has guaranteed a hotter association with Moscow, may not organize the issue.
Given Trump's announcements, "there is an additional criticalness to the requirement for an intensive audit before President Obama leaves office one month from now," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., senior Democrat on the House knowledge advisory group. On the off chance that the organization doesn't react "compellingly" to such activities, "we can hope to see significantly a greater amount of this sooner rather than later," he said.
The White House said it would make parts of the report open and would brief legislators and applicable state authorities on the discoveries.
It stressed the report would not concentrate exclusively on Russian operations or hacks including Clinton battle director John Podesta and Democratic National Committee accounts. Schultz focused on authorities would survey episodes retreating to the 2008 presidential battle, when the crusades of Sen. John McCain and Obama were broken by programmers.
Knowledge authorities have said Obama and Republican presidential chosen one Mitt Romney were focuses of Chinese cyberattacks four years after the fact.
