The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) stated that the U.S. intelligence community will lead new election security threat briefings for presidential candidates, their campaigns, and political organizations ahead of the presidential election in November.
Bill Evanina, the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, will serve as the intelligence community’s point man in what the ODNI said is a “critical effort” to secure the election against potentially malicious meddling.
