Democrats in Congress warned Monday that foreign actors are targeting Congress and the election.
in a letter that they are “gravely concerned” that Congress is being targeted by a “foreign interference campaign,” which also aims to “launder and amplify disinformation” to disrupt the 2020 election., Biden pointed to the findings of several intelligence bodies that the Russian government is attempting to interfere in the election.
“Russia is not the only foreign actor seeking to interfere in our democracy,” he added. “Increasingly, other states have shown an interest in copying Russia’s tactics.” Biden announced he is putting the Kremlin and other foreign governments “on notice,” promising to direct the intelligence community to probe foreign election interference and put ample resources into quashing such efforts.
Biden vowed “substantial and lasting costs on state perpetrators,” which he said could “include financial-sector sanctions, asset freezes, cyber responses, and the exposure of corruption” as well as a “range of other actions.” “I have no desire to escalate tensions with Russia or any other country,” Biden added. “But if any foreign power recklessly chooses to interfere in our democracy, I will not hesitate to respond as president to impose substantial and lasting costs.”“When foreign states direct hackers, trolls, money launderers, and misinformation to subvert or cast doubt on our elections, they threaten America’s sovereignty, democratic institutions, and national security,” Biden declared.
