Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on Tuesday took a not-so-subtle jab at President Donald Trump when he said sowing doubt in American elections is “doing the bidding of our adversaries.”
In remarks before the House Select Committee on Intelligence, McMaster, who served in the first Trump administration for over a year before he was fired in 2018, was asked about the security and integrity of US. elections.
“Yes, Americans should trust in the electoral process. Certainly there are improvements that can be made, and I think in the face of these kind of attacks to reduce our confidence in the outcome of elections,” he said.
McMaster then referred to the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and Trump’s recent address to the nation where he aired grievances about his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, blamed China for supposed election interference and railed against mail-in ballots.

“I think any time a political leader compromises confidence in our democratic processes to score partisan points, I think that they’re actually aiding and abetting our adversaries who want to reduce that confidence,” McMaster said.
