On Wednesday, former FBI Special Agent Asha Rangappa warned that the new reports of the Trump administration suppressing a report on Russian interference in the 2020 election is an indication the president is welcoming such interference again.


In 2016, Russia infamously helped promote a number of narratives to hurt Hillary Clinton, and evidence indicates they hacked and stole data from Democrats to leak in embarrassing and strategic ways.

Now, according to recent reports, Russian-linked trolls are trying to promote false rumors about Joe Biden suffering from diminished cognitive capacity — but the Department of Homeland Security blocked the public release of a July report warning about the effort.
