U.S. intelligence officials are watching for any influence campaigns from Russia or China that are aimed at amplifying existing political divisions or stoking unrest among Americans over the indictment of former President Donald Trump, according to two U.S. officials.
Officials have been on alert since the indictment was confirmed last week and so far have not seen significant signs of Russian or Chinese interference in the country’s political discourse beyond the efforts that have become standard, the U.S. officials said.
But after Trump’s arraignment Tuesday, one of the officials said the intelligence community is watching “very closely” for any signs of such interference.
Intelligence officials are particularly looking for any Chinese or Russian efforts to stir up a response to Trump’s indictment and subsequent arraignment, such as protests, this official said. They are more concerned about Russia trying to stir the pot with disinformation, through social media or other outlets, the two officials said. Russia has shown a willingness and the capability to interfere in the U.S. political process, most notably in the 2016 presidential election, and China has increasingly sought to mirror those efforts.

If you vocally and publicly support Trump, you'll be labeled a Chinese or Russian agent by Uncle Sam.
4 Marxists ro write this crap.
They don’t have to do anything.....this is all Democrats
Maybe these “intel Officials” should look in a mirror to find out who is ‘widening the U.S. Political Split.
The same 51 Intel officers who said Hunter Biden laptop was Russia disinformation?
yes but . “US intelligence officials” trying to watch anything effectively is a risible notion.
Is that what they’re watching for? When we have so many other
much bigger issues. They are ‘watching’ for something that can never be proven. It will always be a matter of perception and interpretation.
DS is driving this Nation over the cliff
and they will use every bit of this Mess to hasten our final demise.
The Russians are putting it about that America is a banana republic...
Who is watching the intel communities attempts to widen the political split in the country in favor of the democrats.
Looking for Chinese money behind just about every legal problem Trump has faced is probably where it's really at.
I am still waiting for those Russian skinflints to pay up from 2016. Bunch of cheapskates! I have been Gypped! They are trying to off Scot free or something! We done got to goes to whar wit dem godless rooooskie commonists!!!! Seriously though, where is my money, Vlad? Are you trying to (they, who shall not be named) me??? Hey, c’mon, man!
My goodness! NBC is still claiming Russia interfered with Trump’s election. Big Mike must have told White House to not let that canard go.
Demonicrats.

Hussein. & brandon open the door to divisiveness wide open for ruskies & chyna to walk right in.
Mission accomplished
We resemble more and more a one-party, marxist country
Create huge political, economic and societal divisions within one’s country, and then blame it on foreign agents and saboteurs.
These people in the intelligence agencies are bought and paid for puppets.
Whatever democrat talking point is available they mimic like parakeets.
If they were really worried about political divisions in the country they’d “Look in the Mirror.”
Prog deeply saddened.
