FBI Alerts Public to Russian-Linked Election Disinformation Campaigns
The FBI has issued a warning about false videos circulating online that misuse the agency's name to spread election disinformation. These videos falsely claim terror threats at polling places and rigged inmate voting, aiming to undermine trust in the electoral process. The FBI is collaborating with local law enforcement to address these threats, while foreign actors like Russia, China, and Iran are also spreading disinformation to influence the election. The public is urged to verify information from reliable sources.
