As we approach our 2020 election, Russia is interfering on Trump's behalf again. This came from The National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC), one of our federal agencies that tracks threats coming from foreign adversaries. The National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) STATEMENT BY NCSC DIRECTOR WILLIAM EVANINA: ELECTION THREAT UPDATE FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ODNI News Release No. 29-20 August 7, 2020 Ahead of the 2020 U.S. elections, foreign states will continue to use covert and overt influence measures in their attempts to sway U.S. voters’ preferences and perspectives, shift U.S. policies, increase discord in the United States, and undermine the American people’s confidence in our democratic process. They may also seek to compromise our election infrastructure for a range of possible purposes, such as interfering with the voting process, stealing sensitive data, or calling into question the validity of the election results. However, it would be difficult for our adversaries to interfere with or manipulate voting results at scale. Many foreign actors have a preference for who wins the election, which they express through a range of overt and private statements; covert influence efforts are rarer... RUSSIA We assess that Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia establishment. This is consistent with Moscow’s public criticism of him when he was Vice President for his role in the Obama Administration’s policies on Ukraine and its support for the anti-Putin opposition inside Russia. For example, pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach is spreading claims about corruption including through publicizing leaked phone calls to undermine former Vice President Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party. Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump’s candidacy on social media and Russian television.

Trump installed millionaire Louis DeJoy, one of his major donors, as Postmaster General. DeJoy immediately ordered slow-downs of operation throughout the entire USPS, and recently fired or transferred 23 high level managers of the USPS. Trump wants to prevent voters from using mail-in ballots during the election. Move-On created a petition asking the USPS Board of Governors to remove DeJoy from his position. The American people need to be able to count on receiving letters and packages by mail. We also need to vote by mail during the pandemic. Please consider signing Move-On's petition. We need to let our leaders know that we support our postal workers and that we need to mail in our ballots. https://sign.moveon.org//board-of-governors-of-the-united-
