WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. intelligence agencies are poised to blame Russia for pushing a video that falsely purports to show a Haitian immigrant claiming to have voted multiple times in the U.S. state of Georgia, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday
The newspaper, citing people familiar with the matter, said a formal statement on the matter was expected to be released later on Friday.
Georgia is one of seven battleground states in Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump.
U.S. agencies have said Russia intends to fan divisive narratives ahead of the election, an accusation Russia has denied.
