Summary
The FBI has issued a warning about two fake videos falsely attributed to the agency, one of which claims to have arrested groups linked to the Democratic Party for alleged ballot fraud. The bureau confirmed that these videos are not authentic and provide misleading information concerning election security. The first video misrepresents quotes from journalist Eliot Higgins, who denied any connection to the claims and labeled the content as Russian disinformation. The second video reportedly discusses Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, and suggests the FBI would ignore alleged connections he has with a significant government issue, although it has not been reviewed for authenticity.
