The White House believes it has uncovered a widespread Russian attempt to undermine the 2024 US presidential election.
The White House’s recent exposure of Russia n attempts to influence this year’s US presidential election will come as little surprise to anyone who followed disinformation tactics during the last US election.
US attorney general Merrick Garland said Russia was looking to create its “preferred outcome” in the upcoming presidential election, and undermine US support for Ukraine in the war. Several of the influencers connected to the Tennessee firm have since said they had editorial control over their content, and denied knowledge of any links to Russia. But this fits patterns identified in our research.
We have seen this in the past, when the Kremlin-backed Internet Research Agency set up a fake left-wing news site and conned unwitting freelancers into contributing content for Russian information operations. RT’s past activities show it has no qualms with deliberately camouflaging its links to other media operations and groups.
4. Flipping the script Moscow has repeatedly denied any involvement in influence campaigns, just as it did in 2018 when the UK accused the Russian state of a series of Novichok poisonings in Salisbury. Back then, Russian politicians and media boosted a complex web of conspiracy theories that mirrored the accusations back at the UK and US security services.
