Intelligence officials are warning that Russia remains a “preeminent threat” in terms of foreign influence on U.S. elections, noting that they are beginning to see Russia target specific types of voters. In addition to Russia, U.S. officials are also watching Iran and China, which are part of the intelligence community’s “big three” in foreign election influence activity.
Senator Mark Warner, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, praised the intelligence community’s efforts toward public updates, adding in a statement that he encourages Americans “to stay informed and alert." The ODNI official also stressed that the agency has not observed any plans or seen any efforts to degrade or disrupt the U.S.'s ability to hold an election.
Scripps News asked if the intelligence community had tracked an uptick in online influence campaigns since the June presidential debate. An ODNI official said they don’t have specific post-debate activities because tracking the flow of that information is “fairly difficult,” though the official added those are the types of issues that would be used by foreign actors.
