Who tampered with the votes?

-

Who tampered with the US’S 2020 elections? China, Russia, or perhaps the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah? According to a 15-page report by the US office of the director of national intelligen­ce, the alleged 2020 election meddling by Russia was indeed to benefit former President Donald Trump. Now Washington wants to impose sanctions on Moscow. The intelligen­ce report also denounced claims by Trump that China was interferin­g in the 2020 election to benefit President Joe Biden. Smaller efforts to influence the 2020 election by countries such as Cuba, Venezuela and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah are also alleged. The political fights between Russia, the US and China have long been over cyberattac­ks, informatio­n hacks, and who has 5G networks.
