Two videos that falsely appeared to show voting fraud and political corruption were manufactured by pro-Russian groups, according to a statement Friday from US officials.
One video appeared to show individuals who claimed to be from Haiti illegally casting votes for Vice President Kamala Harris in multiple counties in Georgia, an image that spread on the social media platform X. The video is an example of targeted disinformation, according to the statement from the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
