USA accuses Russia of interfering in the presidential election

The USA is imposing sanctions on individuals and organizations spreading disinformation on behalf of Russia to undermine confidence in US elections. Russia uses AI, deep fakes, and recruits unwitting American influencers.

They interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections in favor of Trump, but there was not enough evidence of illegal collusion. The US seized domains, charged Russian state media employees, and offered a cash reward for information on foreign election interference.

FBI suspects Russia of running a disinformation campaign in Germany to support AfD and undermine support for Ukraine and NATO. They coordinated the campaign using fake videos and websites.

Russia also manipulates elections in the US and Germany, aiming to weaken support for Ukraine. Putin claims to prefer Harris over Trump, raising concerns about a new axis against NATO and Ukraine.

FBI warns that Germany is particularly vulnerable to Russian disinformation.

The US Justice Department announced criminal charges against two RT employees in Russia and imposed sanctions on several responsible individuals and organizations associated with the Russian state broadcaster, accusing them of attempting to manipulate the upcoming US presidential election.
