Every single U.S intel agency said they did interfere. Trump knew that and his standing next to Putin, saying what he did say, proves that Trump is a craven, treasonous, prick.
I'm saving my popcorn, jars of O. Redenbacher white popping corn ordered at pre-inflation prices, for the 1/6 hearings, the results from the GA grand jury looking into president 'I need this many votes' and whatever comes out of NY's legal proceedings against the orange prick.
Intelligence Report: Russia Tried To Help Trump In 2020 Election
March 16, 20216:11 PM ET
The unclassified document is the most comprehensive look the intelligence community has released regarding foreign efforts to meddle in the 2020 election.
But the central message is the same one the intelligence community has been delivering since last August: Russia wanted Trump to win, though its effort was not on the same scale as in the 2016 election.
In the wake of Russia's 2016 election interference, the U.S. intelligence community dramatically increased its efforts to prevent a repeat.
U.S. officials say the Russians did not operate on the same scale, and were not able to hack sensitive campaign emails or wage a widespread social media campaign.
Still, the Russians attempted to influence the election on other fronts.
"A key element of Moscow's strategy this election cycle was its use of proxies linked to Russian intelligence to push influence narratives — including misleading or unsubstantiated allegations against President Biden — U.S. media organizations, U.S. officials, and prominent U.S. individuals, including some close to former President Trump and his administration," report says.
The report named Ukrainian legislator Andrii Derkach as someone who "played a prominent role in Russia's election influence activities. Derkach has ties to Russian officials as well as Russia's intelligence services."
The U.S. Treasury Department placed sanctions on Derkach last year.
Derkach has had contact in recent years with Trump's former personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, who in turn spread unsubstantiated claims about Biden's work in Ukraine when Biden was vice president under President Barack Obama.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday he wanted President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election because he believed Trump’s policies would be more friendly to the Kremlin.
“Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal,” Putin said, standing alongside Trump at a joint news conference.
Putin was asked whether he directed any of his officials to help Trump’s presidential campaign, but Putin appeared to sidestep that part of the question.
The news conference — which came as the pair met at a much-anticipated summit in Helsinki — followed a closed-door meeting that lasted two hours, where they said they addressed issues including Syria, denuclearization and diplomatic relations.
And although Putin said he was rooting for Trump, the American president in the past denied that was the case. Trump previously said Putin would have preferred to see his 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, in the White House — saying that was partly because Trump planned to ramp up military spending more than Clinton would have.
“There are many things that I do that are the exact opposite of what he would want. So what I keep hearing about that he would have rather had Trump, I think ‘probably not,’ because when I want a strong military, you know, she wouldn’t have spent the money on military,” Trump said in July 2017.
Putin’s comments in Helsinki about Trump’s campaign come days after special counsel Robert Mueller offered the latest salvo in his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, indicting 12 Russian military intelligence officers accused of infiltrating Democratic Party computer servers.
At the joint news conference, Putin denied any evidence that Russia was behind election meddling, while Trump tried to switch gears to a familiar refrain from the 2016 campaign: Clinton’s private email server.
