The top U.S. counterintelligence official on Friday warned that Russia, China and Iran will all try to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, with Russia already trying to undercut presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

“It would be difficult for our adversaries to interfere with or manipulate voting results at scale,” Evanina insisted. Evanina said Andriy Derkach, a pro-Russia Ukrainian politician, has been “spreading claims about corruption - including through publicized leaked phone calls” to undermine Biden’s campaign and the Democratic Party. Trump supporters in the U.S. Senate have launched investigations questioning Biden’s son Hunter’s involvement in alleged business activities in Ukraine.

He said China has been expanding efforts to influence U.S. politics ahead of the November election to try to shape U.S. policy, exert pressure on U.S. politicians it regards as anti-China, and deflect criticism of China. Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for Trump’s re-election campaign, insisted that Trump has been “tougher on Russia than any administration in history.”

shiroihamusan CCP is trying to intercept the election by using TikTok but luckily it will be banned soon.

Can understand why

It's so annoying!

Justice leader US is enemy of world dictators. But Americans are wise, they know which candidate can lead them fight against these terrorists & not compromise w/ their intimidation.

shiroihamusan CCP_is_terrorist

Should not China ranked 1st? The infamous troll army deserve more merit.

Common practice for these dictators

They want Trump again

Interesting 🤔 Russia and China are not the same side to against US. Recently, Russia sell S400 to India instead of China for revenge because CCP spy on Russia.

This sort of warnings is what messes with elections and skews opinions of voters

They already are; just look at BLMs and Antifas who are hell bent to destroy America via Dems

You forgot to mention the US news sources meddling in our elections.

So why is Russia only in the headlines? DefenseIntel

I don't get why us officials view it's US citizens with such mistrust as if they cant decide for themselves who to believe in and who to vote for.

They will not succeed after dispelling embassy, TikTok, WeChat, overseas students. Next step should be investigate any one involved in the meddling.

Duh So is France Germany and Uk

the same operation like before? so this counterspy helps trump again.

He left Israel/IAPAC off his list! Hmm....I wonder why.

🤢

I bet they won’t meddle in the election as much as will Trump and his cronies.

Here we go again Russia Hoax. Don't get my master Putin angry again.

A question, do we still meddle in other nations elections? We did interfere in Iran in 1970's yes!

Even if they do, the US also meddles with all those countries so it all balances out.

Warns them? Lots of good that will do. We’ve been warning them for years! Her a backbone!

Explain why Iran would meddle in our elections? For the last 70 yrs our government has told us Iran doesn't believe in democracy so the rise of Trump's fascist dictatorship would be a win for them according to US propaganda. Democracy dies and America-the devil-with it.

So why is not Russia in the headlines? DefenseIntel

Obama meddelled in the Israeli elections.

Doh! Now he’s fired! Tattling on election rigging will get you fired!

They were INVITED TO, by DonTheCon

American voters at this point: 🥴

Im also meddling in my Pants

What No North Korea?

Good luck!

Did he run that by the white house? They still think there was no meddling

Ya they all want Biden to win, what does that tell you?
