Executive Order 13848 of September 12, 2018
Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find
that the ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside
the United States to interfere in or '''undermine public confidence in United
States elections''', including through the unauthorized accessing of election
and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and
disinformation, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
