Three of the nation's top intelligence officials say the US has seen Russian activity aimed at meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.
CIA Director Mike Pompeo said Moscow's intention is to have an impact on the next election cycle.

They didn't describe the activity, other than to say it was related to information warfare.
