The statement provides the latest intelligence-community assessments of foreign threats to influence and disrupt the Presidential election, which scheduled in less than three months. Evanina, from the agency, said that China sees Trump as “unpredictable”, and has been in a war of words with him on issues of COVID-19 pandemic, Hong Kong and TikTok. Evanina further said that Iran feels threatened by a second Trump term, and is using online influence to spread disinformation, and is trying to change the course of the elections.
Russia working to stop Joe Biden’s Presidential bid says intelligence agency:
On the other hand, Russia is working hard against Joe Biden, Trump’s rival in the Presidential race, as it sees Biden as part of an anti-Russia establishment. Russia also helped Donald Trump against Hilary Clinton in 2016. Evanina said that the intelligence agency was briefing both candidates and members of Congress about these threats and the organization’s assessments were objective and non-political. The November election will take place during the global Coronavirus pandemic, and the state department has warned that foreign rivals have used the outbreak to spread false news, and disinformation to further their agenda.
