In this March 15, 2018, photo, a portion of the Feb. 16, indictment against Russia's Internet Research Agency is photographed in Washington. In its toughest challenge to Russia to date, the Trump administration accused Moscow of an elaborate plot to penetrate America’s electric grid, factories, water supply and even air travel through cyber hacking. The U.S. also hit targeted Russians with sanctions for alleged election-meddling for the first time since President Donald Trump took office. The list of Russians being punished included all 13 indicted last month by special counsel Robert Mueller, a tacit acknowledgement by the Trump administration that Mueller’s Russia-related probe has merit.
