FBI warns of more fake videos about the election purported to be from the bureau

 The FBI on Wednesday warned of more fake videos about the 2024 election purporting to be from the bureau.

“Today the FBI was made aware of four additional instances of its name and insignia being misused to promote false narratives surrounding the election. These instances are the latest in a series of fabricated videos and statements falsely attributed to the FBI designed to mislead the American public and undermine confidence in the election process and outcomes,” the FBI said in a statement.

One of the four fake videos “is a fabricated news clip falsely claiming that the FBI has ordered media to ‘restrict dissemination of information about bribery of electors,’” the FBI said in a statement, adding that the video does not “represent FBI’s actions or position.”

The bureau did not say who was behind the fake messages, or where they were circulated.

CNN reported on Election Day that the FBI warned the public about three fake messages purporting to be from the bureau that “promote false narratives surrounding the election,” including one video about malfunctioning voting machines.
