However, no foreign actor interfered in the 2020 voting process, reported The Hill. A classified version of the report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was presented to then-President Trump, which did not state whether it was made available to President Joe Biden, who had not assumed office at that time.

WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin will face consequences for directing efforts to swing the November 2020 U.S. presidential election to Donald Trump, and that they would come soon. He will pay a price, Biden told ABC News in an interview broadcast on Wednesday. Asked what the consequences would be, he said, You`ll see shortly.
A U.S. intelligence report on Tuesday bolstered longstanding allegations that Putin was behind Moscow`s election interference, an accusation Russia called baseless.
