Iran Press/ America: "The American people need to know what the Russians are doing in this case and the American people believe that they should decide who the next president is, not Vladimir Putin," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and CNN's "State of the Union," referring to the Russian president.
On Friday, William Evanina – director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, which is part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence – issued a statement that said: "foreign states will continue to use covert and overt influence measures in their attempts to sway US voters’ preferences and perspectives, shift US policies, increase discord in the United States, and undermine the American people’s confidence in our democratic process."
Evanina said China, Russia, and Iran were the primary concerns. He said while Russia was working to "boost" President Donald Trump’s candidacy, China and Iran were working to thwart his reelection.
But Pelosi said Russia's efforts on Trump's behalf were of a different magnitude than those of China and Iran.
"They're not equivalent," she said. "Russia is active, 24/7 interfering in our election. They did so in 2016, and they are doing so now," Pelosi said.
China, on the other hand, may prefer Biden "but they’re not really getting involved in the presidential election."
Following the release of the US intelligence report, President Donald Trump announced that all three countries, Russia, China, and Iran, were opposed to his re-election.
Trump claimed that he had put the most pressure on Russia during his presidency.
With these words, Trump seemed to be trying to send a message to those who consider him a supporter of Russia, especially President Vladimir Putin.
The 2020 United States elections will be held on 3 November 2020.
