During panel discussion on Russian involement in election, Tester tackles dark money, Russia

U.S. Sen. Jon Tester condemned dark money donations and Russian election interference during a panel discussion at the University of Montana Friday.

The panel discussion was focused on outside influences in U.S. elections, a problem Tester said Montanans are all too familiar with. It also included former CIA analyst Nada Bakos and University of Montana law professor Anthony Johnstone.

"We’ve had a long history of people trying to buy our elections," Tester said.
