Russian Hacking and Influence in the U.S. Election

Senator Mark Warner, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said the United States was more susceptible to Russian influence operations than it was during the 2020 elections.

Moscow has found better ways to conceal influence operations that spread arguments for isolationism, officials and experts say.

Mr. Lewandowski and Paul Manafort are both being considered for involvement in the Republican National Convention in July.

The stakes for Russia in the presidential vote are large. Other adversaries also might try to deepen divisions among American voters.

Chinese authorities tacitly approved operations in a handful of races, according to the report, which represents the intelligence agencies’ joint analytic assessment.

The former president cited comments by the Russian leader to argue the 91 felony charges he is facing undermine the United States’ claim to be the world leader on democracy.

A binder given to the Trump White House contained details that intelligence agencies believe could reveal secret sources and methods.

On a day when he lashed out at a federal judge in Washington, the former president asked a judge in London to let his lawsuit over the notorious Steele dossier go forward.

Former President Donald J. Trump is arguing that the document known as the Steele dossier was calculated to embarrass him and that it breached data protection laws.

The Russian leader, whose government meddled in the American presidential election won by Donald J. Trump, also offered words of praise for Elon Musk.
