$\"NewsHub\"$ Russia will likely attempt to influence elections across the globe using what it learned from the recent U. S. presidential election, according to a report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Friday.
The report said Russia\u2019s attempts to influence the U. S. election signals a \u201cnew normal\u201d in its efforts to impact foreign adversaries. It is especially likely that Russian President Vladimir Putin will target the elections of U. S. allies, ostensibly NATO and Europe.
\u201cWe assess Moscow will apply lessons learned from its campaign aimed at the US presidential election to future influence efforts in the United States and worldwide, including against US allies and their election processes,\u201d noted the report. \u201cWe assess the Russian intelligence services would have seen their election influence campaign as at least a qualified success because of their perceived ability to impact public discussion.\u201d
The report also warned that Russia engaged in a spear-phishing campaign shortly after Election Day, supposedly in an effort to \u201cprovide material for future influence efforts as well as foreign intelligence collection on the incoming administration\u2019s goals and plans.\u201d
The ODNI report is the result of an investigation into Russian meddling in U. S. elections ordered by President Barack Obama. The report assessed that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an \u201cinfluence campaign\u201d aimed at the 2016 election in order to \u201cundermine public faith in the U. S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.\u201d
