FBI Warns of Fake Videos Spreading Election Misinformation

The FBI has identified multiple fabricated videos using its name to disseminate false claims about election security and polling safety.

  • The FBI has issued a warning about fake videos and statements falsely attributed to the agency, claiming issues at polling stations.
  • One video falsely claims the FBI reported a 'high terror threat' at polling places, urging Americans to vote remotely, which the agency has denied.
  • Another hoax video alleges election rigging involving prison management and a political party, which the FBI also confirmed as false.
  • These fabricated videos are part of a broader disinformation campaign, possibly linked to Russian-backed groups like Storm-1516.
  • While some social media accounts sharing these videos have been suspended, there is little evidence of widespread dissemination.
