Russia targeted the U.S. presidential election with "information warfare" intended to sow discord among Americans, according to an indictment of 13 individuals announced Friday by the Justice Department.
"The defendants allegedly conducted what they called information warfare against the United States with the stated goal of spreading distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general," said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
He said there is no allegation in the indictment that Americans were involved in the Russians' efforts, which included using social media accounts to pose as American citizens.
