A ProPublica report says Donald Trump sought to undermine CISA, the federal agency responsible for protecting US elections. According to the report, CISA employees repeatedly told political appointees that their requests were impossible to carry out, in part because the agency lacked the personnel capable of doing what was asked. The reporting has drawn attention to pressure on the agency tasked with ensuring fair elections.
Why now: Fresh reporting on political pressure on the agency that safeguards US elections is drawing concern amid ongoing election security debates.
