House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said the Russian government “is likely to try to influence the 2020 presidential election, not through the release of stolen emails and other documents but through faked videos,” the New York Times reports.
He said that a carefully crafted, controversial fake video would be “hugely disruptive and hugely influential.”
“The risk is amplified because if a video is executed carefully, it can be hard to both prove it is fake and show where it came from.”
