WASHINGTON — US Director of e said on Wednesday that Russia and Iran have both tried to interfere with the 2020 presidential election. “We have confirmed that some voter registration information has been obtained by Iran, and separately, by Russia,” Ratcliffe said during the news conference. U.S. intelligence agencies previously warned that Iran might interfere to hurt Trump and that Russia was trying to help him in the election. A spokesman for Iran’s mission to the United Nations denied Iran had sought to meddle in the U.S. election. The second government source said U.S. authorities have evidence that Russia and Iran had tried to hack into voter roll data in unidentified states.
