What are yourght . What can we expect from the president . Reporter well, david, i expect the president to hit biden with all of the fury that he hit him in the first debate. He will go after his son, hunters business dealings, regardless if the subject comes up. His advis biden on economic issues, which they believe are still the president s strongest area. And david, the president s advisers think it actually helps him that the mics will be muted for part of the time because what they want more than anything to come out of this debate is for biden to make a mistake and they believe that is more likely to happen if he isnt constantly being interrupted by the president. Jon karl in nashville. Well see you shortly. Well have live coverage of the final debate coming up at 8 00 p. M. Eastern right here on abc. In the meantime, to that new warning about election interference. U. S. Authorities say russia and iran have obtained Voter Registration information and that iran has used that information to send threatening messages to voters. Tonight, state and local to pa correspondent Pierre Thomas. Reporter tonight, new details about alleged covert efforts by russia and iran to weaponize illegally obtained information about american voters. We are not going to tolerate any criminal activity that threatens the sanctity of your vote. Reporter sources telling abc news that two of americas primary adversaries successfully penetrated Voter Registration t along with gleaning voter data from publicly available sources. We have already seen iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest. Reporter while authorities see russia as the greater threat, intelligence officials point to those menacing emails allegedly sent from iran to democratic voters in florida this week, under the name proud boys. One saying, you are currently registered as a democrat. You will vote for trump on election day or we will come after you. It was scary and knowing that theyre using this information and blasting out emails to intimidate people is not comforting. Reporter some of the proud boys, which critics describe as a racist organization, have openly supported President Trumps reelection. At the first debate, the president failed to forcely denounce them. Proud boys, stand back and stand by. Reporter bipartisan alarm about it. They want to sabotage our democracy. Reporter bipartisan alarms sounding off about the attacks but dni John Ratcliffe accused of playing politics when he failed to make any reference to the threats against democratic voters and portrayed President Trump as a victim of an iranian Smear Campaign at a hastily arranged press conference. I think we have to be very careful about any statements coming out about the election from the Intelligence Community at this time. Lets get to Pierre Thomas in washington tonight. Behave two questions for you tonight. Federal authorities have reached out to local agencies, encouraging them to patch any holes in their system.
