President Barack Obama vowed the U.S. would take action to respond to Russian cyber-attacks intended to interfere with the election, escalating the hacking controversy as his successor, Donald Trump, continued to dismiss the claims of foreign interference. In an interview with NPR News that aired Friday morning, Obama said that following any attempt by a foreign government to impact the integrity of U.S. elections that ???we need to take action.???

???And we will,??? Obama continued. ???At a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized; some of it may not be.???

The president???s comments, which echo warnings issued in recent days by some of his top aides, come amid complaints from the Trump transition team that the White House is renewing its focus on the Russian interference in an attempt to delegitimize the Republican???s victory. The administration announced late last week plans to issue a report on electoral cyber-attacks before Obama leaves office on Jan. 20.

The White House and Trump teams have traded escalating insults in recent days that threaten the fragile detente between Trump and Obama, who has sought a working relationship with his successor partially in a bid to preserve some of his policy legacy. It???s also blurred traditional party lines in Washington, with some Republicans expressing alarm over Russia???s attempts to influence an election ultimately won by their nominee and some Democrats upset the White House didn???t take more actions to confront the Kremlin before Election Day. Trump Tweets In a tweet early Friday, Trump argued the focus of any debate should be revelations in the hacked e-mails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that the campaign had been given a heads up on debate questions from the head of the Democratic National Committee during the primary campaign.

???Are we talking about the same cyber-attack where it was revealed that head of the DNC illegally gave Hillary the questions to the debate???? Trump wrote.

The president-elect???s latest missive followed a Twitter message Thursday, casting doubt on Russian involvement in the hacking once more and asking why the federal government waited so long to respond. And at a rally Thursday in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Trump targeted White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who has repeatedly criticized the president-elect for refusing to publicly accept Russia???s role in the leak of e-mails. Trump called Earnest a ???foolish guy,??? and suggested the press secretary was ???getting his orders??? from someone other than Obama.

In the NPR interview, Obama argued the revelations were evidence the Russians had succeeded in roiling the election because they created ???more problems for the Clinton campaign than it had for the Trump campaign.???

???No Doubt???

???There???s no doubt that it contributed to an atmosphere in which the only focus for weeks at a time, months at a time were Hillary???s e-mails, the Clinton Foundation, political gossip surrounding the DNC,??? Obama said.

Obama stopped short of saying the Russian hack was fully responsible for Clinton???s loss, but said he had no doubt it had ???some impact??? on the race. He also indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who the administration has suggested may have personally directed the effort, was ???well aware of my feelings about this, because I spoke to him directly about that.???

He also said congressional Republicans should be supportive of his administration???s efforts to highlight Russian interference.

???The irony of all this, of course, is that for most of my presidency, there???s been a pretty sizable wing of the Republican Party that has consistently criticized me for not being tough enough on Russia,??? he said. ???Some of those folks during the campaign endorsed Donald Trump, despite the fact that a central tenet of his foreign policy was we shouldn???t be so tough on Russia. And that kind of inconsistency, I think, makes it appear, at least, that their particular position on Russia on any given day depends on what???s politically expedient.???

Playing Politics?

Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican and vocal Trump supporter, said Friday that Democrats were ???certainly playing politics??? with the situation. He told CNBC that he had been denied a request to be briefed by CIA officials on Russia???s involvement, and that he had not seen evidence Russia was responsible. ???I???m assuming that???s true, but who did they hack???? Johnson said. ???Was it the DNC? Was it John Podesta? I haven???t seen that evidence.???
