WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. cybersecurity agency director Jen Easterly said on Monday that her department has not seen evidence of any activity that could impact the outcome of the election, despite a surge in disinformation.

She added that the 2024 election has faced an "unprecedented" amount of disinformation from foreign adversaries.
