The Hill: Biden says Russia spreading misinformation ahead of 2022 elections  

President Biden said Tuesday that he has been briefed on Russian efforts to spread misinformation related to the 2022 midterm elections. 

"Look what Russia is doing already about the 2022 elections and misinformation," Biden said during a speech at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), referencing information he said was contained in his President's Daily Brief. "It's a pure violation of our sovereignty." 

Biden said the intelligence community needs to "take on the rampant disinformation that is making it harder and harder for people to assess the facts, be able to make decisions." 

Biden repeatedly referenced Russian President Vladimir Putin during his remarks, suggesting at one point that he believes Russia's weakened economy makes Putin "more dangerous" in the cyber realm.
