U.S. Intelligence Confirms Russia Has Massive Social Media Op To Help Trump

Russia is running a social media operation to attempt to elect Donald Trump as president in 2024.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia had already launched a "whole-of-government" campaign to help elect Trump.

The outlet confirmed the Russian op story with senior U.S. intelligence officials and sources in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The Wall Street Journal disclosed an intelligence official's quote: "We haven't observed a shift in Russia's preferences for the presidential race from past elections."

According to Defense One, "ODNI officials said Russian spin doctors plan to covertly use social media to amplify narratives that could sway public opinion in election swing states and diminish U.S. support for Ukraine. Pro-Russian messaging and influence attempts have also been made through encrypted direct messaging channels."
