It's confusing that Trump constantly warns about the security of our elections & foreign interference, yet his administration has taken several steps to dismantle or divert resources away from key safeguards that were in place: - Gutted the DOJ's Public Integrity Section (went from ~30-40 lawyers down to just 2) - Left the Election Crimes Branch director position vacant - Canceled all election integrity training for prosecutors & FBI agents - Deleted the official 281-page Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses guide from the DOJ website He disbanded the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force, which targeted foreign efforts to meddle in U.S. politics & elections. He also severely cut CISA (the agency for election cybersecurity), firing or transferring dozens of election security specialists, freezing key support programs for states, and proposing to eliminate the entire federal Election Security Program in future budgets. You would think that if he were ACTUALLY concerned about the integrity & security of our elections, he would be allocating MORE resources, not less — or at least wouldn't be leaving these critical positions vacant & programs dismantled right before the midterms.
