Biden Jr. during the election last year, including by mounting covert operations to influence people close to President Donald J. Trump, according to a declassified&nbsp;intelligence report.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report did not name any specific Trump operatives, but did seem to implicate Rudy Giuliani, who served as one of the former president\u2019s chief legal advisors following his November election loss, and noted that, while Russia and other countries often at odds with the United States on policy \u2014 including Iran and China \u2014 did not make an effort to change or alter ballots or ballot collection, they did seek to undermine American perceptions of the electoral process.<\/p>\n<p>Biden claims that he specifically warned Putin, in a call earlier in his presidency, that there would be a White House response if the allegations of voter manipulation were proved true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will pay a price,\u201d Biden told ABC. \u201cWe had a long talk, he and I, and relatively well. And the conversation started \u2014 \u2018I know you and you know me. If I establish this occurred, be prepared.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/17\/politics\/joe-biden-vladimir-putin-price-to-pay\/index.html\">CNN notes that Biden did<\/a>, reportedly, confront Putin on \u201ca number of issues, including Moscow\u2019s interference in the 2020 US presidential elections, the massive Solarwinds cyberattack, the suspected poisoning of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny and reports of Russian bounties on American troops serving in Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with many of his answers, Biden was not specific in what reprisals Putin might face. CNN notes that the \u201cBiden administration is expected to announce sanctions related to election interference as soon as next week,\u201d according to \u201cthree US State Department official\u201d but those officials \u201cdid not disclose any details related to the expected sanctions but said that they will target multiple countries including Russia, China, and Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden was then asked whether he believed Putin was a \u201ckiller,\u201d to which he replied yes, and redirected the interview back to the \u201cprice\u201d Putin will pay, except tempering the idea of serious punishment by suggesting that the White House response is designed to promote a partnership with the Kremlin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe price he\u2019s going to pay, well, you\u2019ll see shortly,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cThere are places where it\u2019s in our mutual interest to work together. That\u2019s why I renewed the START agreement with him. That occurred while he\u2019s doing this, but that\u2019s overwhelmingly in the interest of humanity that we diminish the prospect of a nuclear exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
