  • Starr Forum: Russia's Information War on America
    MIT Center for Intnl Studies | Starr Forum: Russia’s Information War on America CAROL Welcome everyone. We're delighted that so many people could join us today. Very SAIVETZ: excited that we have such a timely topic to discuss, and we have two experts in the field to discuss it. But before I do that, I'm supposed to tell you that this is an event that is co-sponsored by the Center for International Studies at MIT, the Security Studies program at MIT, and MIT Russia. I should also introduce myself. My name is Carol Saivetz. I'm a senior advisor at the Security Studies program at MIT, and I co-chair a seminar, along with my colleague Elizabeth Wood, whom we will meet after the talk. And we co-chair a seminar series called Focus on Russia. And this is part of that seminar series as well. I couldn't think of a better topic to talk about in the lead-up to the US presidential election, which is now only 40 days away. We've heard so much in 2016 about Russian attempts to influence the election then, and we're hearing again from the CIA and from the intelligence community that Russia is, again, trying to influence who shows up, where people vote. They are mimicking some of Donald Trump's talking points about Joe Biden's strength and intellectual capabilities, et cetera. And we've really brought together two experts in the field. Nina Jankowicz studies the intersection of democracy and technology in central and eastern Europe.

Barr spoke Friday at the Federalist Society’s dinner in Washington. His comments came as Congress held a second public hearing in the House impeachment inquiry. https://apnews.com/2f420045618b4106b6fa7419a3d75b8e[12/20/2019 2:00:35 PM] The Latest: Ousted Ukraine ambassador has her say in hearing Barr says the “cost of this constant harassment is real.” The attorney general also took a swipe at liberals who label themselves as part of “the resistance.” He said they “essentially see themselves engaged in a war to cripple by any means necessary.” He also accused liberal lawmakers of being “engaged in a systematic shredding of norms and undermining of the rule of law.” ___ 3:22 p.m.
