The FBI is making significant changes to its approach in combatting foreign threats to US elections. A source familiar with the matter revealed that the FBI is preparing to disband the Foreign Influence Task Force, a team of specialists dedicated to addressing foreign interference in the electoral process.
The decision to disband the task force comes following a directive from incoming US Attorney General Pam Bondi. In a memo issued on Wednesday, Bondi stated that the disbandment is aimed at reallocating resources to address more urgent priorities and to prevent potential weaponization and abuses of prosecutorial discretion.
