Jim Dorian/iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — The White House will consider a “range of options” in dealing with the Sony hack, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday.
Earnest would not speculate on the eventual White House response, saying, “I would acknowledge that an appropriate response is something that is not always obvious, but it’s something that’s worthy of careful consideration.” The president’s national security team continues to consider their options carefully, Earnest said.
“I don’t anticipate that we’ll be in a position where we’re going to be able to be completely forthcoming about every single element of the response that has been decided upon,” Earnest added.
Earnest would not discuss who would eventually be deemed responsible for the hack, though he did say that Obama “considers it to be a serious national security matter.”
