A secret intelligence briefing on the U.S. midterm elections was derailed by persistent video connection failures, CNN reports, citing sources.

U.S. intelligence officials had to postpone a meeting of election organizers because it was cut off after 15–30 minutes. It is noted that federal officials from across the country had adjusted their schedules for the meeting.

The outlet recalled that this briefing was supposed to be the first since the 2024 presidential election in which government agencies received classified information from federal agencies about a “threat” posed by foreign powers.

📋 The U.S. midterm elections will be held on November 3. Voters will determine the new composition of the House of Representatives, as well as the fate of 33 Senate seats. Republicans currently control both chambers.
