If the DNI reports that there was not interference and subsequently determines that there was interference, the DNI shall report on the subsequent determination.

If the DNI determines that Russia interfered with an election, the President shall impose specified sanctions.

The President shall brief Congress on any foreign government the President determines interfered with, or is likely to interfere with, an election.
