WASHINGTON – The Biden administration said Monday that it will establish a new center responding to what the U.S.
intelligence community has assessed as attempts by Russia and other adversaries to interfere with American elections. The Foreign Malign Influence Center will be housed in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which coordinates information sharing among U.S.
spy agencies. In a statement, ODNI said the center “will be focused on coordinating and integrating intelligence pertaining to malign influence, drawing together relevant and diverse expertise to better understand and monitor the challenge.” The news was first reported by Politico.
