FILE - In this May 5, 2020, file photo, then-Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, and now Director of National Intelligence testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington. Officials say Russia and Iran have obtained some voter registration data, aiming to interfere in the November election.
The announcement at a rare news conference just two weeks before the election underscored the concern within the U.S. government about efforts by foreign countries to spread false information meant to suppress voter turnout and undermine American confidence in the vote. Both countries have also obtained voter registration information, though such data is considered easily accessible. Despite the Iranian and Russian actions, the officials said Americans can be confident that their vote will be counted.
The news conference was held as Democratic voters in at least four battleground states, including Florida and Pennsylvania, have received threatening emails, falsely purporting to be from the far-right group Proud Boys, that warned “we will come after you” if the recipients didn’t vote for President Donald Trump.
Would only make me vote for Biden more.
Why is CrapNN not Reporting... The reference to 'the Big Guy' in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden,' Bobulinski said in a statement to Fox News.
It’s a good thing our govt took no action to safeguard our elections when the intelligence community told them this was going to happen.
The scary towel head man made me vote for Biden
You'll probably find if you trace the thread it will take you to Israel who are spreading dis information about Iran to get trump and the US up in arms with Iran !
I don’t buy it! Emails intimidated Democrats to vote for tRump, BUT emails meant to damage tRump? Hmmm...sounds like another one of tRump lies to sow fear! VOTE! Don’t let republicans steal it from you!
CBS reports, emails were linked to Saudi, UAE And Estonia servers maddow JoeNBC TheDemCoalition ProjectLincoln MeidasTouch thereidout glennkirschner2 SteveSchmidtSES
Sssuuurreee
DNI said laptop is not part of Russian disinformation. Will Joe Biden deny that laptop the FBI has belongs to Hunter & emails pertaining to China & Ukraine are legitimate? If he won’t give an answer, why not?
In Dec 2019 FBI signed 2 pickup computer purported 2 B Hunter Biden’s from repair shop. Shop has Hunter’s signature 4 repair. When he never returned, after 90 days by contract, it became property of shop. News sources report they are investigating laptop for money laundering.
OphirGottlieb yes they want to get Biden elected so they can resume taking advantage of America

Deflect
But Hilary!!!
JuddApatow What a “subtle” way to begin spreading seeds for a new war.... Pathetic.
I'm shaking in my boots!
I smell bullshit flag coming on!!
No one believes this - Iran hates Trump The US Intel Community is the culprit
DEJA VU - you learned NOTHING FROM 2016. The FBI comes up with a “story” at the last moment and you drop all of the valid stories about Trump to run after Trump’s misdirection.
JuddApatow The story is that the DNI just politicized intelligence in an unprecedented way, he's violating campaign finance laws, and the Hatch act. And also lying by trying to create equivolency olency between Iran and Russia activities. AP don't just publish bullshit this is misinfo.
Yeah yeah... Ok but it's all to help Trump. I see that.
God if only people would stop getting the news from social media and click bate
fakenews Trump being so obvious like always. Comeee on. TrumpIsLying TrumpIsALiar
Iran! You mean THE Iran? The country that Trump hates? They're telling people to vote for him? Hahahaha!

How does intimidating registered democrat voters to vote for trump or else face physical harm ‘hurt’ Trump - you had me until that comment.
Another lame-ass October surprise? Isn't the server in Saudi Arabia? Isn't the message from the Proud Bois demanding that Dems change their registration to GOP to vote Trump? Makes no sense, many states stopped voter registration, since Election Day is in 2 weeks.
ALL BS PROPAGANDA, ANOTHER CHEAP PR STUNT. TOO BAD WRAY A PART OF IT.
From whom did they 'obtain' voter information? I hope the highest intelligence people are able to answer that pronto.
Remember in the 60s-early 90s when the CIA use to do a lot regime and election tampering throughout the world. Well how do we like being on the receiving end now?
Oh bullshit...
This is obvious bullshite. Trump's IC has even screwed up the story to make it sound like it hurt Trump, but it was to hurt Biden. They can't even get their story straight. At first, it was Iran, which didn't make sense, so they added Russia. 🤣 Keep fishing, boys...
BS
OphirGottlieb Why not report that this was all designed to hurt Trump? Odd that you wouldn’t have that in the headline.
I also hear they will send you 10 million dollars of you send their Iranian King 1000 bucks.
This is a strange strategy that helps neither side. I think it’s to cause chaos and division.
OphirGottlieb I think it’s a pretty well known group, actually... it’s the lackeys in the executive who for whatever reason sold their souls to Donny.
Expecting a big blackout and internet loss in Iran. Russia has Pee videos so he’s ok there
FBI says Saudi and UAE servers used to send emails implicate Iran but also note Estonia server in the mix which is more in line with Russia. Russia knows these other servers implicate Iran and they can tap them too. It benefits Trump to make trouble with Iran now /wagdog. 2+2=?
johnastoehr Moscow interfering with elections? Perish the thought!
I don’t believe it’s Iran. Plus they hate tRump.
Try sending me Voter Hate Mail.I already voted punks
These colors do not run
Our registration are public knowledge. Do better
It was probably Democrats and they're blaming Iran because even they get that they can't blame Russia EVERY time. This seems like the type of thing they'd do and I don't trust Wray.
Distraction from Giuliani, Trump’s Chinese Account & rise of Covid-19
Who's scared of some Trump nerds anyways
What did Trump promise them in return for this interference? Election2020
Zero credibility
Luckily, you can just delete an unwanted email, change your email address, block, etc. Any crying videos from anyone over this?
Iran? Sure, sure. Because Muslims just LOVE Trump, right? I don't believe anything his Fed gov't says. This has Russia written all over it.
You can thank Biden and shady Hunter for this. They are in it up to their necks. Made millions off of American jobs in China.
What an amazingly convenient coincidence!
Yeah well Manafort gave it to them in 2015
Where was donie junior? I bet he met the Iranians because they promised free adoptions.
AKA, the GOP.
So Iran and Russia want Biden to win and are attempting to make it happen. Wait... I thought they were Trump's besties? You did tell us that for 4 years now right?
FBI Director Chris Wray said at the news conference that despite foreign efforts to interfere with elections, 'you should be confident that your vote counts.'
