FBI examining fake do ents targeting Clinton campaign: sources

[RandomGuy]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies are examining faked do ents aimed at discrediting the Hillary Clinton campaign as part of a broader investigation into what U.S. officials believe has been an attempt by Russia to disrupt the presidential election, people with knowledge of the matter said.

U.S. Senator Tom Carper, a Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has referred one of the do ents to the FBI for investigation on the grounds that his name and stationery were forged to appear authentic, some of the sources who had knowledge of that discussion said.

In the letter identified as fake, Carper is quoted as writing to Clinton, “We will not let you lose this election,” a person who saw the do ent told Reuters.

The fake Carper letter, which was described to Reuters, is one of several do ents presented to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice for review in recent weeks, the sources said.

A spokeswoman for Carper declined to comment.

As part of an investigation into suspected Russian hacking, FBI investigators have also asked Democratic Party officials to provide copies of other suspected faked do ents that have been circulating along with emails and other legitimate do ents taken in the hack, people involved in those conversations said.
