Joint ODNI, FBI, and CISA Statement
Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the following statement:
“The IC assesses that Russian actors manufactured and amplified a recent
video that falsely depicted an individual ripping up ballots in
Pennsylvania, judging from information available to the IC and prior
activities of other Russian influence actors, including videos and other
disinformation activities. Local election officials have already debunked
the video’s content.
This Russian activity is part of Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded
questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among
Americans, as detailed in prior ODNI election updates. In the lead up to
election day and in the weeks and months after, the IC expects Russia to
create and release additional media content that seeks to undermine trust
in the integrity of the election and divide Americans.”
