The FBI believes there is an “elevated” risk of outside election interference or influence in the 2024 presidential election, according to its director, Christopher Wray.

“I think it’s fair to say that they are elevated from where they were before,” Mr. Wray told a Senate committee last week. “And to elaborate just slightly on that point, obviously we saw, and it’s not disputed, that the Russians tried to interfere in the 2016 election and then continued. But what we’ve seen since then is other adversaries attempting to take a page out of the Russians’ playbook.”
