US intelligence officials accuse Russia and Iran of attempting to interfere with the 2020 presidential election as the day draws near

Campaign signs are posted near the Supervisor of Elections Office polling station while people line up for early voting in Pinellas County, ahead of the election in Largo, Florida, US, October 21, 2020.

The Treasury said the Bayan Rasaneh Gostar Institute was being sanctioned for being "complicit in foreign interference in the 2020 US presidential election." The Iranian Islamic Radio and Television Union and the International Union of Virtual Media were sanctioned because they are allegedly controlled by the already-sanctioned Islamic Revolutionary GuardCorps.

Most of that voter registration is public. But Ratcliffe said that government officials "have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest and damage President Trump."Ratcliffe was referring to emails sent on Wednesday and designed to look like they came from the pro-Trump Proud Boys group, according to government sources.

"Such accusations appear every day, they are unfounded and not based on anything," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "It was clear to me that the intent of Iran in this case and Russia in many more cases is to basically undermine confidence in our elections. This action I do not believe was aimed ... at discrediting President Trump," Schumer told MSNBC.
