Promised Trump hacking report/plan does not exist.
After a much-hyped Jan. 6 meeting with U.S. intelligence officials to discuss Russia’s purported involvement in hacking Hillary Clinton-related emails, then-president-elect Trump released a statement promising that he would appoint a team that, within 90 days of his taking office, would release a plan to “aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks.” On Jan. 13, he sent some tweets suggesting that this plan would also be a “report” that got to the bottom of Russia’s role in the hacking:
Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans - FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists. Probably...

It’s now been 90 days since Trump took office, so Politicochecked in on the matter. They found that not only is there no report, but that neither the White House national security team nor Trump cybersecurity adviser Rudy Giuliani appear to have even been working on one:

But on Wednesday, a NSC spokesperson told POLITICO that he was unaware if the NSC was in charge of compiling it, or if that responsibility fell to Giuliani — or if the report exists.
Giuliani is continuing his work talking to the private sector, but a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor confirmed that he is not involved in any 90-day report.Advertisement
A White House spokeswoman claimed to Politicothat “a diverse set of executives with both government and private sector expertise” are “currently are working to deliver an initial cybersecurity plan” in an effort supervised by both the NSC and—prepare yourself—vaunted Trump son-in-law/super-adviser Jared Kushner, whose portfolio also purportedly includes Iraq, Israel/Palestine, criminal justice reform, the opioid crisis, veterans’ health care, infrastructure development, and streamlining the federal bureaucracy.
The one concrete achievement the Trump administration canpoint to on the hacking front is this image of Giuliani at a March 7 cybersecurity event:

Ah, the ol’ Wobbly Four-Tiered Triangle of Online Impenetrability. At least we can be assured that Rudy knows his stuff.
