Hegseth orders Pentagon to counter foreign election meddling
Original: Exclusive: Hegseth directs Defense Dept. to fight foreigners who "meddle" in U.S. elections
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed the Defense Department to take action against foreigners who attempt to meddle in U.S. elections, according to a report by Axios. The move signals a harder line on foreign interference, though details of what authorities the military would use, and how it would differ from existing intelligence and law enforcement efforts, remain unclear.
Why now: The reported directive is new and touches the politically sensitive issue of foreign interference in U.S. elections.
