UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says officials confirmed Russian interference in 2016 Brexit referendum
Andy Burnham said he received a clear official answer that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, while Conservative critics disputed his decision to raise the issue.
Burnham said in a podcast interview that the government had confirmed Russian interference in the 2016 referendum and that the public had not been adequately informed about the extent of overseas efforts to disrupt politics.
The Guardian reported that Conservative critics called his intervention divisive. The report did not cite newly released underlying government evidence.
