U.S. spy agencies are ready to warn voters about foreign election interference — if it's severe enough

U.S. intelligence agencies are closely tracking attempts by foreign adversaries to influence the 2024 election through “deepfakes” or other false information and are ready to alert the public if necessary, officials said Wednesday.

A decision to notify the public about attempted election interference by foreign actors would be up to the leaders of the country’s intelligence agencies, including intelligence chief Avril Haines, officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, told reporters.

The decision to issue a public warning would follow a review by digital forensic experts and intelligence analysts, the ODNI officials said. It would be based on an assessment of whether the disinformation was serious enough that it “could affect the election outcome,” an official said.

How about US spy agencies stop their own election interference and then maybe I'll take their warnings about foreign interference halfway seriously.

The same people who told us Hunter’s laptop was fake news?
Who helped orchestrate the fake dossier?
Who tried to setup Trump for assassination at his home on FL?
Those people?

The US intel needs to stay out of the elections. They are the ones messing in the elections.

Nobody believes them anymore. This is what happens when everything is made political.

NBC obviously got a memo from Rat Party Headquarters. Starting in a month or so we'll be getting reports that allies of DJT...foreign *and* domestic....have a massive plan in place to steal the Election. Just like in 2016.

Let me guess, Hunter’s conviction is Russian Disinformation?

Or Joe Biden is actually very sharp behind closed doors..

Where’s Hunter’s Mugshot?

It’s in a secret vault, that’s where, along with the Audio of Joe being interviewed by Hur.

There is NO WAY these warnings will be in any way biased. IMPOSSIBLE!

My concern is not foreign interference as much as the cheating Democratic Party and their henchmen - foreign or domestic!!
