FBI Reports Impersonation in 2 Fake Election Security Videos

November 2, 2024 TruthUSA

The FBI expressed concerns about attempts to impersonate the agency and deceive the public regarding its operations, stating that such actions ‘erode trust in the electoral system.’

The FBI has officially denied two videos claiming to be created by the bureau, which raise issues about election integrity.

“The FBI is aware of two videos falsely claiming to be from the FBI regarding election security,” the bureau announced in a press statement shared on its X social media page.

According to the FBI statement, one video alleges that the bureau has captured three connected groups involved in ballot fraud.

Additionally, the FBI mentioned that the second video, in some way, involved Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff but provided no further details.

“These videos are not genuine, do not originate from the FBI, and contain false information. Ensuring election integrity is a top priority for us, and the FBI is collaborating closely with state and local law enforcement partners to address election threats and safeguard our communities as Americans exercise their right to vote,” stated the bureau.

“Efforts to dupe the public with false content about FBI operations undermine our democratic process and seek to diminish trust in the electoral system.”

False claims related to elections continue to impact the electoral process as states finish early voting and prepare to tally the votes on Nov. 5.

Last week, the Bucks County Board of Elections in Pennsylvania flagged a video allegedly showing an individual ripping up mail-in ballots in the county. In an Oct. 24 statement, the county election board clarified that the ballots in the video were not authentic materials for Bucks County. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the FBI jointly issued a statement on Oct. 25, challenging the authenticity of the video and stating that it was a disinformation product created by Russian actors.
