FBI Director Christopher Wray said Russian efforts to influence American public opinion are not confined only to periods around elections, NBC News reports.
Said Wray: “It’s pretty much a 365-days-a-year threat. And that has absolutely continued.”
The FBI chief said it consists of constant use of social media, with “fake news, propaganda, false personas, et cetera, to spin us up, pit us against each other, sow divisiveness and discord, and undermine Americans’ faith in democracy.”
