They said the effort ultimately produced no clear evidence of Venezuelan interference in Puerto Rico's elections.\nGabbard's office confirmed the May 2025 investigation but rejected any Venezuela focus, saying the review centered on cybersecurity weaknesses in Puerto Rico's voting infrastructure. Her office said an unspecified number of machines and copies of election data were taken into federal custody as part of a \"standard practice in forensics analysis,\" and that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found \"extremely concerning cybersecurity and operational deployment practices that pose a significant risk to US elections.\"\nOfficials said the Puerto Rico case appeared to fit into a broader effort by Trump-aligned aides to continue pursuing claims of voter fraud that date back to his 2020 election loss and have persisted into his second term.\nThe Puerto Rico operation was coordinated with an FBI field office in Florida and a mixed group of national security officials, law-enforcement agents and contractors, according to two people familiar with the matter. Domestic election security is typically handled by law enforcement and state officials, not the intelligence community, a division of roles some experts say Gabbard has blurred.\nReuters' sources said it was the allegation that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's government had tampered with Puerto Rico's voting systems that initially raised the question of foreign interference, an area where ODNI has clear legal authority. That said, no public evidence has emerged to substantiate that claim.\nPhoto Courtesy: Maxim Elramsisy on Shutterstock.com","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
