Russia is actively distributing fake videos to discredit presidential candidate Kamala Harris

This is stated in a new Microsoft report.

The company's experts have established that Russian trolls are spreading the fake video that Harris allegedly caused a hit-and-run accident that paralyzed a 13-year-old girl in San Francisco in 2011.

The researchers found that during this influence operation, a video was created in which the actors were paid to shoot.

Microsoft says the video was created by the Storm-1516 group, which they call the Kremlin's troll factory.
