Russian state actors have conducted a campaign since at least September against a wide variety of targets, including dozens of 'government and aviation networks,' ABC News has learned.

The directors of National Intelligence and FBI announced Russia and Iran have stolen information about American voters in an attempt to meddle in the 2020 election.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe announced Wednesday that Russia and Iran had"taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our elections," and that voter registration information. Ratcliffe made the announcement during an unusual evening announcement at FBI headquarters, alongside FBI Director Christopher Wray, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers and CISA Director Christopher Krebs.

Though Ratcliffe focused on Iran's efforts to send spoofed emails designed to intimidated voters in the U.S., officials maintain that Russia remains a more potent threat, using a range of efforts to undermine confidence in the democratic process.

This is a video of Biden's corruption problem.

trump and the republicans do nothing to stop it or even say anything about it.

For some reason 🤔you don’t mention that Brevard County and Alachua County are in Florida

This should b considered an act of war

Which 2 counties in which 2 states?

Biden admitted he made a mistake locking up black in 1994. But in 8 years as VP he let them rot in jail. Not until Trump started letting them out did Biden acknowledge his mistake. He knew he was wrong but waited until politically popular before he said a word. Not until Trump

So the scenario is being set up for 45 if he loses he will say it was because the voter machines were “ Hacked” and he got cheated out of the Presidency therefore he is not leaving without a fight! 🤔 MarkMyTweet 🤣🤣🤣🤣✌🏾

Florida governor would just give it to them to help Trump. GovRonDeSantis is that big a sycophant

The report didn’t specifically say what Iran’s intentions were except that you can guess that creating turmoil in US democracy is to Iran’s benefit.

Trump will do nothing. Russian pawn.

Hmmm. The FBI and CISA is not sounding concerned, so we have two options: Either we believe Trump and think the FBI is corrupt and hiding the truth, or we assume the FBI knows what they are doing and this is a non-issue.

Why would Iran want Trump to be reelected? That makes absolutely no sense what so ever

How can it be known if maybe it's Russian private individuals doing the hacking and not the gov't? If an American private citizen hacks a foreign gov't, is the US gov't to blame?

Thanks Mitch!

the data was not altered? Are we to believe that they just did it for fun

And jennycohn1 warned that those machines/software was not certified but used anyway

Russia Russia Russia 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
