FBI chief: Russia upping meddling efforts ahead of 2020, midterms a 'dress rehearsal'

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Friday that the 2018 midterm elections served as a "dress rehearsal" for Russia's election interference efforts slated to be aimed at the 2020 presidential election.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, the FBI director said that Russian operatives and other foreign agents are "adapting" to the efforts the U.S. intelligence community is taking to secure America's election systems.

"Well, I think — on the one hand I think enormous strides have been made since 2016 by all the different federal agencies, state and local election officials, the social media companies, etc.," Wray said.

"But I think we recognize that our adversaries are going to keep adapting and upping their game. And so we’re very much viewing 2018 as just kind of a dress rehearsal for the big show in 2020," he added.
