Press Releases

WASHINGTON – Today, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Mark R. Warner (D-VA) issued a statement after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an update on foreign threats to the U.S. election in 60 days:

“I applaud the Intelligence Community for its efforts to provide continuous updates to the public on foreign threats to the 2024 election. As this latest update notes, the IC has not observed any foreign actor attempting to target election systems and remains confident that a range of mechanisms would help detect any foreign efforts to do so.

“Nonetheless, today’s update underscores the extent to which a range of foreign actors – but most notably Russia, Iran, and the People’s Republic of China – remain intent on undermining confidence in the election, stoking divisions among Americans, and even seeking to shape outcomes of election races. I look forward to continued efforts by the IC to release this vital information as we approach Election Day and in the post-election period.

“A whole-of-society effort is needed to ensure our democratic processes are free from foreign meddling.”
