U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed that Russian actors created a fake San Francisco news station to spread false allegations about Vice President Kamala Harris during her campaign.
The false narrative claimed that Harris was involved in a hit-and-run incident in 2011, with a video alleging a victim's paralysis, but the entire story was fabricated.
The fabricated content aligns with Russia's strategy to undermine the Democratic party and support former President Trump's campaign through disinformation.
The website behind the hoax was newly registered in Iceland, and its articles lacked attribution, seemingly borrowing content from legitimate sources.
