President-elect Donald Trump said in a statement Friday that he had "tremendous respect" for the work of the intelligence community, despite weeks of tweets and other comments doubting intelligence agencies' conclusion that Russia, through cyberattacks, sought to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

His statement, which came after he received an intelligence briefing on Russian hacking, nonetheless declared that "there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines."

He announced that he was appointing a team to give him a "plan" within 90 days that he has taken office "to aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks." He hinted that many of the details of these efforts would be withheld from the public.

"The methods, tools and tactics we use to keep America safe should not be a public discussion that will benefit those who seek to do us harm," he said.
