U.S. officials have confirmed that Russian actors were responsible for a video circulating on social media showing mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in Pennsylvania. The video, debunked within hours by local election officials and law enforcement, was part of a broader effort by Moscow to sow doubt about the integrity of the U.S. election.
The joint statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency highlighted the video's falsity. The Bucks County Board of Elections quickly identified the video as fake, emphasizing that the materials shown were not authentic.
