WASHINGTON — Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, called on the intelligence community to release more information about Russia's attempts to interfere in the 2020 election so that Americans aren't "unwittingly" being used in a "Russian disinformation campaign."

Pointing to the U.S. counterintelligence report from earlier this month that found, in part, that Russian agents are working to help boost President Trump, Warned warned that without more information, Americans could be furthering Russia’s goals.

“The intelligence community, 10 days ago, said the Russians are back trying to interfere in our elections again, that they have a disinformation, misinformation campaign targeted against Vice President Biden,” Warner said during an exclusive interview on “Meet the Press” Sunday.

“It’s incumbent on the intelligence community to lay out more of the facts of what we know about that disinformation campaign. My fear is there may be Americans that are unwittingly promoting that Russian disinformation campaign and I think they need to be briefed so they don’t became, frankly, agents in effect of this disinformation campaign.”
