WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said on Wednesday that Russia and Iran have both tried to interfere with the 2020 presidential election.
“We have confirmed that some voter registration information has been obtained by Iran, and separately, by Russia,” Ratcliffe said during a hastily arranged news conference.
“We have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest and damage president Trump.”
