One day after 10 Democratic White House hopefuls concluded their latest debate, a former Russia expert at the National Security Council told lawmakers that Moscow is preparing to meddle in the coming U.S. election.

“ ‘Right now, Russia’s security services and their proxies have geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 election. We are running out of time to stop them.’ ” — Fiona Hill

Fiona Hill, a former top aide to then–national security adviser John Bolton, testified Thursday in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
