What happened
FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee on September 17, 2020 that Russia was making "very active efforts" to interfere in the election, primarily by working to damage Joe Biden through social media, proxies and state media. Politico reported that his account affirmed the findings the Office of the Director of National Intelligence had published the previous month. Trump responded on Twitter that evening. Bloomberg reported that Wray had in fact testified that China was among the adversaries trying to interfere in the campaign. Wray also said the FBI had not seen Russia trying to break into election infrastructure as it did in 2016.
