FBI 'aware' of 2 fabricated news clips, press releases urging not to vote and rigged inmate voting
The FBI is aware of two fabricated news clips and press releases urging people not to vote and rigged inmate voting, according to a statement they released on Tuesday morning.
"The FBI was made aware of two instances of its name and insignia being misused in promoting false narratives surrounding the election," the FBI said in a statement. "The first is a fabricated newsclip purporting to be a terrorist warning issued by the FBI. The fabricated newsclip reports falsely that the FBI purportedly stated that Americans should 'vote remotely' due to a high terror threat at polling stations. This video is not authentic and does not accurately represent the current threat posture or polling location safety. Additionally, a fabricated video containing a fabricated FBI press release alleges that the management of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona rigged inmate voting and colluded with a political party. This video is also not authentic, and its contents are false."
This is the second such warning the FBI has given in recent days.
