US Intel Agencies: Russia Working To “Denigrate” Biden

The Wall Street Journal reports:



The U.S. intelligence community has assessed that Russia is using a range of measures to denigrate Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election, while China prefers that President Trump not win reelection, a senior intelligence official said in a statement Friday.

Iran also is seeking to undermine U.S. democratic institutions and Mr. Trump, and to divide the country ahead of the November contest, Bill Evanina, a senior counterintelligence official, said.

The disclosure is the most detailed yet from U.S. intelligence agencies about foreign efforts to interfere in the 2020 election, after months of escalating but generally vague warnings about such activity.
