Summary
Two more Russian disinformation videos targeting the U.S. election are circulating online, according to U.S. officials. The videos, which falsely claim to show FBI operations and involve First Gentleman Doug Emhoff, are part of a Russia-backed malign influence campaign ahead of the presidential election.
Sure would have been useful if CBS would have given us more details to go on so we would know exactly what the false story being circulated is and recognize it…
the article links to others with more detail.

Thank you.
The FBI disclosed this to CBS, meaning it’s plausible the specific videos weren’t shared by the FBI.
