§3238 Annual Reports on Influence Operations and Campaigns in the United States by the Russian Federation

Summary

The Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center must send Congress’s intelligence committees a report every year about Russian efforts to influence people and politics in the United States. Each report must list the Russian groups and people involved (current as of the report date); evaluate groups linked to or funded by them, especially those working in the U.S.; describe how they try to target, pressure, or sway U.S. populations; assess attempts to influence U.S. officials or candidates; and, after the first report, explain changes in their goals and methods. The Director must work with the FBI, CIA, NSA, and other relevant intelligence leaders when making the report. The report must be unclassified but can include a classified annex.
