WASHINGTON<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), released Monday key findings and recommendations from a joint report to the President issued last month on the impact of foreign governments and their agents on the security and integrity of the 2020 U.S. federal elections. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Departments investigated multiple public claims that one or more foreign governments owned, directed\u00a0or controlled election infrastructure used in the 2020 federal elections; implemented a scheme to manipulate election infrastructure; or tallied, changed or otherwise manipulated vote counts. The Departments found that those claims were not credible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The DOJ report stated:\u00a0 “We are aware of multiple public claims that one or more foreign governments\u2014including Venezuela, Cuba, or China\u2014owned, directed, or controlled election infrastructure used in the 2020 federal elections; implemented a scheme to manipulate election infrastructure; or tallied, changed, or otherwise manipulated vote counts. Following the election, the Department of Justice, including the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security, including CISA, investigated the public claims and determined that they are not credible. \u2022 We have no evidence\u2014not through intelligence collection on the foreign actors themselves, not through physical security and cybersecurity monitoring of voting systems across the country, not through post-election audits, and not through any other means\u2014that a foreign government or other actors compromised election infrastructure to manipulate election results.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
