The Department of Homeland Security (finally) releases the completed version of an annual threat assessment identifying white supremacy groups as the greatest lethal threat to the nation. The report also states that Russia is the top source of disinformation (a.k.a. “fake news”) in the country.
Over the past several months, Acting Secretary Chad Wolf ordered agents to cover up Russian interference and downplay white supremacy. Now, after a judge determined that Wolf is serving his position illegally, he is finally upfront about real threats to the nation.
The threat assessment highlighted white supremacists as the most deadly among domestic terrorists in recent years and Russia as the primary threat to spreading disinformation.
“I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years,” Chad F. Wolf, the acting secretary of homeland security, wrote in the foreward to the assessment. The threat report also stated that “Russia is the likely primary covert influence actor and purveyor of disinformation and misinformation within the homeland.”
