MSNBC's Ana Cabrera discussed with NBC's Ken Dilanian the actions taken by Pam Bondi, Trump's new attorney general, who disbanded the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force on her first day in office. Created to combat foreign election interference, its shutdown has left experts perplexed and concerned about the implications for U.S. security and the handling of foreign disinformation. Bondi also restricted enforcement of the Foreign Lobbying Registration Act, which had previously targeted Trump allies. Analysts are questioning her commitment to addressing foreign influence operations in the U.S.
"Disbanding the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force raises serious questions about the new attorney general's commitment to combating malign foreign influence operations in the U.S."
"The abrupt halting of efforts against foreign political interference has left many baffled, with significant implications for how we address manipulation from Russia and China."
