Fiona Hill, the former White House adviser on Russia who testified before the House Intelligence Committee during the presidential impeachment hearings, said Russian President Vladimir Putin has the U.S. “exactly where he wants us.”

“Putin, sadly, has got all of our political class, every single one of us, including the media, exactly where he wants us,” Hill said during a CBS “60 minutes” interview.

Hill in the interview echoed sentiments she made during her congressional testimony, stating that the Russian government is working to deepen partisan divides and cause Americans to cast doubt in government systems.

“He’s got us feeling vulnerable, he’s got us feeling on edge, and he’s got us questioning the legitimacy of our own systems,” she said. “The Russians did not invent partisan divides, the Russians didn’t invent racism in the United States, but the Russians understand a lot of those divisions, and they understand how to exploit them.”
