At the first public hearing before Congress since a massive cyberattack by suspected Russian hackers was disclosed in December, Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Mark Warner, a Democrat, was joined by the vice chairman of the committee, Republican Senator Marco Rubio, in calling for the measure.
