U.S. intelligence officials reported that Russian operatives created a fictitious San Francisco news website, KBSF-TV, to spread false claims about Vice President Kamala Harris.
The fabricated story claimed Harris had left a woman paralyzed due to a hit-and-run incident while serving as California's attorney general, further illustrating Moscow's campaign to discredit Democratic figures.
This incident exemplifies Russia's broader strategy aimed at influencing U.S. politics by supporting Trump while undermining the Democratic Party, raising concerns about the proliferation of misinformation.
The bogus content quickly spread across right-wing social media platforms, highlighting the vulnerability of political narratives to manipulative foreign influence during election cycles.
