Director of National Intelligence "Iran and Russia Confuse Presidential Elections" October 22, 15:35
Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe, who oversees intelligence in the United States, confirmed moves by Iran and Russia to confuse the upcoming presidential election, including getting fake emails from voters' personal information. We are calling for caution.
Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe will hold a press conference with FBI Director Ray on the 21st, using personal information of voters somehow obtained by Iran and Russia before the presidential election next month. Announced that concrete moves to confuse voters have been confirmed.
"Iran is sending spoofed emails to voters that are causing social unrest and damaging President Trump," Ratcliffe said at a press conference.
In addition, videos containing hoaxes alleging that fraudulent votes are being voted from overseas are spreading, and Iran's involvement in this is also acknowledged.
It did not reveal how Russia used the voter's personal information.
In less than two weeks before the presidential election, Secretary Ratcliffe has warned US voters that he is "trying to disseminate false information and confuse the election."
