US counterintelligence chief says foreign adversaries are exploiting Trump’s lies to influence election

CNN  

Washington CNN — The top US intelligence official on election security says that foreign adversaries are exploiting lies by President Donald Trump in their campaigns to influence the 2020 election. Evanina was asked about a list of false claims about mail-in voting and voter fraud that the President has made, which the interviewer, Mark Albert, called “false statements.” Evanina did not directly address the truthfulness of Trump’s claims but did say they’re being amplified by foreign adversaries “If they see a reference made by the President of the United States, a prominent US Senator, a business person, someone who America looks at as a voice of reason, and they believe it suits their interests, they will amplify that by a thousand to make sure that the most amount of people see it,” Evanina said. Evanina made clear that he has not seen any intelligence that foreign countries are “manipulating or attempting to manipulate any mail by vote systems or processes.” They are, however, using the issue as a wedge “to exacerbate these conversations we’re having.” National security officials charged with securing the election have been evasive about the threat posed by Trump’s regular spreading of disinformation, focusing instead on that same threat from overseas. FBI director Christopher Wray provoked Trump’s anger last month when he stated Russia is “very actively” working to “denigrate” Trump’s opponent former Vice President Joe Biden.
