Russia rejects unsubstantiated US claims that it produced fake election videos

The Russian Embassy in Washington has rejected “baseless” claims that the Kremlin is orchestrating the production of fake videos related to the 2024 US presidential election.

With just days until the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, a video surfaced on social media Thursday purporting to show an immigrant voter in Georgia claiming to have voted multiple times.

The immigrant in the 20-second video claims that he and others shown in the footage are from Haiti, arrived in the United States six months ago, received U.S. citizenship within that time, and are now in several Georgia counties for Harris voices.

The viral video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on X and other social media platforms.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claimed on Friday that the voting video was fake and fabricated by “Russian influence actors.”

In a statement posted on Telegram on Saturday, the Russian Embassy said: “We have noted the statement from the US intelligence community accusing our country of spreading fake videos about election violations in the United States.” We consider these allegations to be valid unfounded.”

The claim, the embassy said, represents an attempt by the FBI and other federal agencies four days before Tuesday's election to reverse predictions of violence before and after the election over claims of voter fraud.
