U.S. imposes sanctions targeting Russia and Iran over 2024 election interference

The Biden administration imposed new sanctions on Russian and Iranian entities over their attempts to interfere in the 2024 election, the Treasury and State Departments announced Tuesday.

"These actors sought to stoke sociopolitical tensions and undermine our election institutions during the 2024 U.S. general election," Miller said in a statement.

The Treasury Department said the Russian entities used generative AI tools to create disinformation to distribute across websites designed to create false corroboration between the stories. The Treasury Department said Russia also manipulated videos to its benefit.

Treasury said Iran used social engineering to access people with direct access to the presidential campaigns of both parties, something the U.S. warned was happening earlier this year.

Gotta build up the back story to underpin four more years of “Russia, Russia, Russia.”

Disinformation (propaganda) is not "election interference".

Biden’s entire presidency has been about J6, illegal immigration and Project Ukraine. Everything he touched has been a disaster. Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Trump can’t take office soon enough.

I thought “Russia Russia Russia” was a 2020 lie.

I guess the idiot democrats figure trotting out this lie might work this time?

“These actors sought to stoke sociopolitical tensions and undermine our election institutions”

What a laugher. If Biden was consistent, he lock up every single newscaster, personality and MSM writer who called Trump “Hitler” and “Nazi.”

They always do.
Easy enough for Trump to quickly reverse on Jan 20.

What about the FBI and 51 former intelligence officials, etc. who publicly disparaged Hunter Biden’s laptop as “fake?” I do not think anything qualifies as election interference unless it is tampering with vote tallies. Otherwise it is up to the voter to determine what is “fake” or not.

The Biden buggers can not leave fast enough.

This is passive aggressive insurrection of the Biden junta.

Better check the typewriter keys too.
