Iran and Russia elections. According to a report from EFE Agency, the director of National Intelligence of the United States, John Ratcliffe, warned this Wednesday that Iran and Russia have obtained information from American voters and that they are trying to interfere in the elections on November 3.

«We want to alert the public that we have identified that two foreign actors,

Iran and Russia, have taken specific actions to influence public opinion in relation to our elections,» Ratcliffe said at an FBI appearance 13 days before the elections.

According to the director of National Intelligence, both Russia and Iran have accessed data from American voters, information that Tehran would have already used to harm the American president, Donald trump, according to Ratcliffe.

«We have already seen,» he said, «Iran send false emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social tension and harm President Trump.»

Ratcliffe also denounced that Tehran is distributing a video «that suggests that individuals may vote fraudulently», something that he said «is not true».

«These actions are desperate attempts by desperate adversaries,» he added. Regarding Russia, the director of National Intelligence said there is no evidence that he has used the information he has obtained at the moment.

This appearance comes after Democratic voters in states such as Florida or Alaska have received intimidating emails in recent days allegedly sent by the far-right group Proud Boys.

The emails, which the United States said were actually sent by Iran, threatened Democrats to vote for Trump.

In the same appearance, Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI – the agency in charge of ensuring electoral security, said that he «will not tolerate foreign interference» in the US elections. “We have worked for years to build resilience in our electoral infrastructure and today that infrastructure remains strong. They must be sure that their vote counts, ”Wray said.

Iran and Russia elections. It should be remembered that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, hinted at his fear of losing on November 3 in the elections by emphasizing, for the second time in a week, the shame that he would be ashamed to be defeated by the Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

Beginning a three-day tour of six key states in the elections, Trump acknowledged that he feels a lot of “pressure” to win the elections, at a time when the polls give a lead of about ten points to Democrat Joe Biden at the national level .

«How can you lose to a guy like this?» President Trump asked, referring to Joe Biden during a rally in Greenville, in the key North Carolina state, after describing his rival as the «worst candidate» for the presidency of the United States. the history of the country.

Trump also gloated over the idea of ​​losing to Biden, assuring that he would «never» step on that key state again if that happens.

The president has recently contacted some of his allies privately to confess that he is afraid of losing, and in particular, losing against Joe Biden, whom he does not respect, as revealed this month by The New York Times.

Polls show a bleak outlook for Trump, who trails Biden in the three states that gave him the keys to the White House in 2016 – Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – and tied in other territories that he won comfortably four years ago. like Ohio and Arizona.

Eager to bathe after overcoming COVID-19, Trump has scheduled a tour of North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Iran and Russia elections. The president minimized the polls that show him lagging behind and assured that he has an advantage «in all the places where people are intelligent.»

Hours before starring in a televised meeting with voters organized by the NBC News network, Trump attacked that channel and insinuated that he only accepted the invitation to participate with the aim of complaining after how badly they had treated him.

“They have set us up for tonight. If you want to entertain yourself a bit, you can see it, «said the president during the rally.

Trump said that NBC is «the worst» and sarcastically defined as «charming» the host of the event, Savannah Guthrie, and said that he only agreed to participate because he wants «to see how they treat him» compared to Biden, who led a similar event on the same chain this month.

«(When they offered it to me) I thought what the hell, they give us a free hour of television,» Trump said.

The NBC network has received criticism for scheduling Trump’s act at the same time as another meeting with voters that Biden will star in the ABC network, but it has defended itself by stating that it is trying to be «fair» and give the same opportunity to the two candidates.

Trump and Biden were scheduled to participate in their second debate on Thursday, but that meeting was canceled after the president refused to participate if it was held virtually, as requested by the organizers after the president’s COVID-19 diagnosis.
