2 more Russian disinformation videos targeting U.S. election are circulating online, sources say

U.S. officials suspect that two fake videos circulating online, falsely claiming to be from the FBI and spreading false election security claims, are part of a Russia-backed influence campaign ahead of the presidential election. The FBI has confirmed that the videos are fake and not from them, and are being used to deceive the public. Similar propaganda has been attributed to Russian actors in recent days, including fake videos about ballot fraud and destroying mail-in ballots. The U.S. government and Microsoft have warned of ongoing influence campaigns by U.S. adversaries to mislead voters, with Russia favoring Trump and Iran favoring Harris.
