DOJ Justice Shutters Specialized FBI Team Combating Foreign Election Interference

The special task force was established in 2017

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is preparing to disband a team of specialists charged with combating foreign threats to U.S. elections, a source familiar tells CNN.

The shuttering of the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force and planned reassigning of team members follows a directive from incoming and newly sworn in U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi dissolving the team.

"To free resources to address more pressing priorities, and end risks of further weaponization and abuses of prosecutorial discretion, the Foreign Influence Task Force shall be disbanded," Bondi wrote in a memo issued Wednesday to her staff.
