Summary
Two more Russian disinformation videos targeting the U.S. election are circulating online, according to U.S. officials. The videos, which falsely claim to show FBI operations and involve First Gentleman Doug Emhoff, are part of a Russia-backed malign influence campaign ahead of the presidential election.
Sure would have been useful if CBS would have given us more details to go on so we would know exactly what the false story being circulated is and recognize it…
The FBI disclosed this to CBS, meaning it’s plausible the specific videos weren’t shared by the FBI.

Even though we can all guess which candidate is mean to benefit from the videos the point is to divide and bring chaos to the US. A weaker US benefits Putin. Just like how Russia heavily promoted Brexit.
