Top intelligence officials have vowed to deliver more specifics about interference threats both to lawmakers and the American public.
U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that Russia is targeting former vice president Joe Biden ahead of November’s election, the country’s top counterintelligence official announced Friday. But he also suggested that China is hoping President Donald Trump will lose.
Friday’s statement could rekindle Democrats' criticisms of Evanina, who also said intelligence officials have assessed that China “prefers that President Trump – whom Beijing sees as unpredictable – does not win reelection.” Similar to Evanina’s previous statement, it notes that Iran "seeks to undermine U.S. democratic institutions, President Trump, and to divide the country in advance of the 2020 elections" through various online activities. The Iranian regime is partly "driven by a perception that President Trump’s reelection would result in a continuation of U.S. pressure on Iran in an effort to foment regime change," Evanina said.
A DNI official stressed that there is “no particular rank or order by which the threat actors are listed in the statement issued today. Each of these adversaries poses a threat to our election and it’s imperative that we all work together as a nation to combat them.” But, they added, the statement "still treats three actors of differing intent and capability as equal threats to our democratic elections."
