Senators: Intel community weighs more disclosures on foreign meddling
[Politico] The U.S. intelligence community is weighing whether to disclose additional information about attempts by foreign governments to interfere in the 2020 election, the bipartisan leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee said on Wednesday.

After the panel’s likely final briefing on the matter before the Nov. 3 election, Chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) said intelligence officials are much more prepared to combat foreign-based meddling efforts than they were in 2016, when Russia intervened in a systematic campaign to boost Donald Trump.

But with just 41 days until the election and many Americans already starting to cast their ballots, both senators described significant obstacles when it comes to revealing more details to the public about the scope and intentions of malign foreign actors’ attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

"That’s an ongoing challenge. Public information is probably the best inoculator against the effectiveness of this. But we have to balance that with not losing access to information," Rubio said after a two-hour Intelligence Committee briefing with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and William Evanina, the nation’s top counterintelligence official.

"The difference is that the victim here is the American public," Rubio added. "So it’s a different balance. It’s a struggle. It’s a brand new challenge."

Both Rubio and Warner have pushed the intelligence community to reveal more information publicly about foreign election meddling, but in a way that does not compromise intelligence sources and methods for obtaining that information. The Trump administration has already published details of efforts by Russia, China and Iran to interfere in the election.
