Russian Software Was Hiding In Plain Sight. Homeland Security, the agency charged with ferreting it out, was infected by it. How the Russians did it. How The White House Destroyed The CDC. Its strategy: Washington’s dismissal of science, the White House’s slow suffocation of the agency’s voice, the meddling in its messages and the siphoning […]
