CLEVELAND – Texas U.S. Sen. John Cornyn wants the St. Louis Cardinals to be given high heat if investigators find evidence they hacked into the Astros’ computer systems.
Cornyn raised the Cardinals-Astros hacking scandal in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington on Wednesday, Cornyn’s office said. Cornyn questioned a Department of Justice official on the FBI’s investigation of the Cardinals, who are said to have accessed Astros’ data without authorization.
“I hope that FBI and DOJ will take the ongoing investigation into any criminal activity seriously and ensure that any wrongdoing is fully investigated and prosecuted,” Cornyn said in an exchange with Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Bitkower, according to a news release from Cornyn’s office.
