The\u00a0U.S. Department of State\u2019s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program, which is administered by the Diplomatic Security Service, is offering a reward\u00a0of up to $10 million for information on foreign interference in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n

The reward offer seeks information leading to the identification or location of any foreign person, including a foreign entity, who knowingly engaged or is engaging in foreign election interference, as well as information leading to the prevention, frustration, or favorable resolution of an act of foreign election interference.<\/p>\n

Foreign election interference includes certain conduct by a foreign person that violates federal criminal, voting rights, or campaign finance law, or that is performed by any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of, or in coordination with, a foreign government or criminal enterprise. This conduct includes covert, fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful acts or attempted acts, or knowing use of information acquired by theft, undertaken with the specific intent to influence voters, undermine public confidence in election processes or institutions, or influence, undermine confidence in, or alter the result or reported result of a general or primary federal, states, or local election or caucus. Such conduct could include vote tampering and database intrusions; certain influence, disinformation, and bot farm campaigns; or malicious cyber activities.<\/p>\n

This reward offer reflects additional authorities to provide rewards for information on foreign interference in domestic elections provided by the William M. \u201cMac\u201d Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.<\/p>\n
