The Treasury accused a Russian entity of using AI to spread disinformation and false claims about a 2024 vice-presidential candidate across fake news sites.

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on several Russian and Iranian entities accused of interfering in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. These sanctions target individuals and organizations linked to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), specifically for their roles in influencing the election through cyber operations and disinformation campaigns. The U.S. Treasury Department identified these actions as part of broader efforts by foreign adversaries to undermine American democracy. The sanctions block any assets these entities might have in the U.S. and prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with them. This move reflects the Biden administration's commitment to countering foreign election interference and safeguarding the integrity of U.S. electoral processes.
