The Foreign Malign Influence Centre will integrate all relevant intelligence and provide assessments and warnings to policymakers, the report said, citing an ODNI statement.
The decision to create the hub comes after US intelligence agencies released a declassified report accusing Russia of attempting to sway the 2020 presidential election and impede Joe Biden’s victory. Russia denies the allegations.
ODNI was directed to establish the new centre covering "malign influence activities" by Russia, Iran, North Korea and China in a recent intelligence authorisation bill.
