US intelligence agencies confirm Russia is pushing fake videos of Kamala Harris
The U.S. intelligence community on Monday said Russia is responsible for recent videos shared on social media that sought to denigrate Vice President Kamala Harris, including one that tried to implicate her in a hit-and-run accident. Spy agencies also assess that Russian influence actors were responsible for altering videos of the vice president's speeches — behavior consistent with Moscow’s broader efforts to boost former President Donald Trump’s candidacy and disparage Harris and the Democratic Party, an official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said during a press briefing.

“Polizei!” barked the officers who stormed a third-floor apartment in the Austrian capital, moving to intercept a thickset man standing near a kitchen nook. The suspect — a long-serving official in Austria’s security services — sprang toward his cellphone and tried to break it in two, according to Austrian police reports.
