Russian interference in the 2016 US elections

In the 2016 US elections, Russian interference involved efforts by the Russian government to influence the outcome. This included hacking into the email accounts of political figures, spreading disinformation through social media, and promoting divisive narratives to sway public opinion. The goal was to undermine trust in the electoral process and ultimately support specific candidates. Investigations revealed that these actions aimed to exploit social and political divisions in the US, raising concerns about the integrity of democratic processes and foreign influence in national elections.
