U.S. intelligence officials have assessed that Russian operatives are responsible for a disinformation campaign targeting Tim Walz, the vice presidential candidate. This campaign includes the dissemination of false claims and a viral video featuring fake allegations made by a purported former student. Experts suggest that these actions aim to smear Walz and could potentially incite post-vote violence. Officials have highlighted the involvement of Russian propaganda units and far-right influencers in spreading these baseless accusations, raising serious concerns ahead of the election.
