You would have thought so, but if you get a chance to read the article, you'll see that Mike Rogers told the committee he had not been granted the authority by Trump to counter Russian cyber-attacks at source. Rogers also advised the committee that “I need a policy decision that indicates there is specific direction to do that. The president ultimately would make this decision in accordance with a recommendation from the secretary of defense.”
