The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned of two fake videos circulating online that aim to cast doubt around the US presidential election - the latest in a series of alerts by top officials.
BBC Verify found evidence linking the videos to a much larger, Russia-based operation that has produced hundreds of fakes directed at the election in recent months.
In a post on X on Saturday, the FBI said the two videos were spreading rumours about ballot fraud and about Doug Emhoff, the husband of Democrat candidate Vice-President Kamala Harris.
The fake videos, which purport to be from the FBI and include the bureau’s logo, did not receive a large amount of views from real people on X.

is pulling out all the stops to get his sycophant, Trump, elected. His "victory" in Ukraine probably depends on it.
For the sake of the United States, Ukraine, and the rest of the free world, we have to elect Kamala Harris. 👌
