Matthew G. Olsen, head of the Justice Department's national security division, stated that foreign interference in the upcoming election represents a clear and present danger, particularly from Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China.
Olsen highlighted that Russia is intensifying its disinformation efforts with the goal of supporting Donald Trump, while also attempting to undermine U.S. support for Ukraine.
The Justice Department's concerns are underscored by recent incidents, such as Iran’s hacking of the Trump campaign, illustrating that adversaries are actively engaging in election interference.
Olsen clarified that while foreign efforts are apparent, there's no evidence that Donald Trump or his associates are collaborating with foreign actors in these operations.
