I’m seeing another paragraph between those two now, might have been updated after you posted this but the full quote is

The U.S Justice Department said on Tuesday that it disrupted a Russian operation that used fake social media accounts enhanced by artificial intelligence to covertly spread pro-Kremlin messages in the United States and abroad.

The news comes four months before the U.S. presidential election, which security experts widely believe will be the target of both hacking and covert social media influence attempts by foreign adversaries. Senior U.S. officials have said publicly they are monitoring for schemes intended to disrupt the vote.

The Justice Department secured court approval to seize two domain names and search nearly 1,000 social media accounts allegedly associated with the effort.
