A group of federal agencies on Friday released a set of new processes that will govern how lawmakers, government agencies, the private sector and the public would be notified of foreign interference in U.S. elections.

The processes, summarized in a one-page document released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), stated explicitly that “partisan politics shall not play [a] role in the decision to provide notifications,” and that the integrity of political and social discourse would be protected.
