I take it you didn't go to the link. Here's some of what you missed. What Is Foreign Election Interference? According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, foreign election interference is "malign actions taken by foreign governments or actors designed to sow discord, manipulate public discourse, discredit the electoral system, bias the development of policy, or disrupt markets for the purpose of undermining the interests of the United States and its allies." Foreign election interference takes many forms, but the goal is almost always the same: to influence an institution so that it moves in a direction that is more beneficial for the influencer. Foreign election interference can be overt or covert, which is part of the reason it is so difficult to prevent. Some examples of foreign election interference include, Overthrowing of a particular regime Spreading misinformation on social media Funding of a particular political candidate Creating doubt in political institutions or process.. .Election Contributions and Donations According to the U.S. Code, foreign nationals are not legally allowed to contribute, or donate, or promise to donate money or anything of value to an American political candidate or a party's political committee. Although the value of money is almost universally recognized, the value of "other thing[s]" is vaguer and has been subject to different legal interpretations. According to the Federal Election Commission — the governmental body responsible for the regulation and supervision of federal campaigns — candidates and political action committees (PACs) are prohibited from accepting or soliciting contributions or donations from foreign nationals. It is worth noting that foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing and donating directly or indirectly to a U.S. candidate or their campaign. Candidates, campaigns, parties, and committees are also prohibited from accepting contributions or donations from an entity if the candidate or their campaign has reason to believe the contribution or donation originated from a foreign entity.es findlaw.com "Throw Putin in jail?"
