This mission, according to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, wasyet the U.S. remains vulnerable to many of the same tactics utilized against us in 2016 and 2018.

Political ads sold on TV and radio are required to disclose the organizations that paid for them. But right now, the same rules don’t apply to ads sold online.saw posts linked to Russia. That’s more than a third of the U.S. population. There were also thousands of Russian-sponsored YouTube videos and tens of thousands of tweets aimed at swaying the election.

Lindsey Graham and Mark Warner , would shine a light on the dark money being used to buy online political ads.The goal is simple: to bring our laws into the 21st century to ensure voters know who is paying to influence our political system.
