Testimony: Russians probably worked to discredit Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio right up to the present washingtonpost.com Two high-profile Republican members of Congress may have been targets of Russian social-media campaigns to discredit them as recently as this past week, an expert in Kremlin influence-peddling told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. “This past week we observed social-media accounts discrediting U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan,” Clint Watts told the committee in a rare open hearing with cybersecurity, intelligence and Russian-history experts that leaders billed as a “primer” on Russian influence-peddling. Watts, an expert in terrorism forecasting and Russian influence operations from the Foreign Policy Research Institute, also said that in his opinion, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) “anecdotally suffered” from Russian social-media campaigns against him during his presidential bid. Ryan’s office was not aware of the report about an effort against him, according to a spokeswoman.
