Attempts to influence how American citizens vote in elections.
The liberal media dutifully covered the impasse of intelligence officials. For example, Politico changed the title of the article to “Dozens of former intelligence officials say Hunter Biden story is Russian disinformation. ”

Brennan, apparently unable to understand that the People's Government no longer wants his misleading statements, calls President Trump's executive order “the oddest of the many strange executive orders he has signed.” said.
Brennan said President Trump “misrepresented the facts in the executive order by saying that we suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop issue was disinformation. No, we did not disclose accurate information.” “It has the characteristics of a Russian intelligence operation that includes.”
Brennan said the Post article was “part of a smoke bomb of Russian-promoted disinformation,” or that there was clearly no effort on his part or the other signatories to correct it.
