Russia is the most active and sophisticated nation working to manipulate the U.S. election, officials say.

Russia is using fake websites, state-controlled media and unwitting Americans to spread misleading and polarizing content aimed at undermining confidence in elections.

Russia 's aim is to foment chaos, division and polarization in our society, a former ambassador to Russia says.

The Kremlin ’s disinformation apparatus seizes on contentious issues like immigration, crime, the economy.

U.S. intelligence officials believe China is taking a more neutral stance in the election.

But the Chinese government has for years operated a sophisticated hacking operation targeting all manners of Western life and industry.

Foreign adversaries, including the same ones blamed for meddling now, have sought to interfere in the last several election cycles.
