Russian Meddling in the United States: The Historical Context of ... - CSIS Photo: ALEXEY NIKOLSKY/AFP/Getty Images Brief bySeth G. Jones Published March 27, 2019 One of the most significant—and most disturbing—aspects of the Mueller report is the confirmation that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election, based on the Special Counsel’s exhaustive collection and review of intelligence. This campaign by a foreign adversary represents a serious threat to U.S. national security and is reminiscent of Moscow’s actions during the Cold War. As this CSIS Brief highlights, Moscow has long conducted an “active measures” campaign against the United States, including trying to manipulate U.S. domestic politics. U.S. policymakers now need a forceful response to Russia’s intelligence campaign. The Mueller report, officially titled the “Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election,” highlights significant Russian intelligence activity in the United States. As acknowledged by Attorney General William P. Barr, the Special Counsel’s investigation identified two major Russian intelligence components. The first included “the R…

Russia, Trump, and the 2016 U.S. Election Share Table of Contents Share Charges of foreign power interference in the U.S. presidential election have raised grave national security concerns and touched off multiple federal inquiries that could drag on for months. This publication is now archived. Introduction Allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election have gripped Washington and kicked off multiple investigations into the campaign of President Donald J. Trump. At the root of these inquiries are concerns about the security of the U.S. electoral process and fears that a rival power could influence an election’s results. President Trump has at times dismissed or downplayed claims that Russia interfered in the last presidential race, and has consistently denied that his campaign coordinated with Russian agents in any way. While the investigations are ongoing, and could carry on for many more months, they have already prompted a former Trump administration official and a former campaign advisor to plead guilty to lying to federal agents about communications with Russian nationals. Who accuses Russia of interfering in the election? The CIA, FBI, and Nationa…

The Russian government waged a well-documented, sustained campaign to weaken the United States, using multiple tools and tactics, damage American democracy and divide American citizens. That campaign continues today. Acknowledging and understanding the threat is important, but only half the battle. It is up to U.S. political leaders to act on a bipartisan basis to deter authoritarian attacks and raise the cost of waging them.
