US to Accuse Russia of 2024 Election Interference

The United States is preparing to formally accuse Russia of attempting to influence the 2024 presidential elections through an online disinformation campaign. According to multiple sources, including CNN, the Russian state media network RT will be a central focus of these allegations. The announcement is part of a broader effort by the Biden administration to counter Russian influence and includes law enforcement actions aimed at combating the alleged operation.

The US Justice Department has previously indicated that Russia remains a constant threat to the upcoming election and is employing increasingly sophisticated methods to manipulate election outcomes. This development is expected to highlight the role of RT as a key tool in disseminating Kremlin propaganda. Additionally, the Social Design Agency, which has been sanctioned by the Treasury Department for operating fake news sites in Europe, is also likely to be named. The formal announcement is expected to coincide with public remarks by Attorney General Merrick Garland at a Justice Department Election Threats Task Force meeting.
