Summary

Attorney General Pam Bondi, a former foreign agent and Trump ally, has shut down the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which was established in 2017 to counter foreign election interference.

The move weakens enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, despite intelligence warnings that Russia and other adversaries are actively targeting U.S. elections.

Critics warn this decision leaves the country vulnerable to disinformation campaigns.

Former FBI officials have called the move “astounding,” signaling potential national security risks under the new administration.
