Oct 26, 2024, 12:14 AM

U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed that a widely circulated video showing mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in Pennsylvania was manufactured and disseminated by Russian actors. The video, which falsely depicted the ballots being ripped up in Bucks County, is part of a broader Russian disinformation campaign aimed at eroding trust in U.S. electoral systems and dividing Americans. The FBI and other federal investigators have publicly stated that Russian operatives are behind the fake video and warned of more such content in the coming weeks.
