President Trump on Wednesday sought to advance the Ukraine conspiracy theory that his aides had warned him repeatedly was “completely debunked.”
President Trump on Wednesday promoted a conspiracy theory about Ukraine that his aides had warned him repeatedly was “completely debunked.”
During a July 25 phone call that was flagged by an intelligence community whistle blower, Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with Giuliani or Attorney General William Barr to investigate Joe Biden, his son, Hunter Biden, and the Democratic National Committee server that was hacked by Russia in 2016.
U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement agencies concluded the hack of the DNC server was carried out by Russians. According to CNN, the FBI “looked at the imaged copies of the DNC — essentially an electronic copy of everything that was on the server” and determined that Moscow was behind the hack. The fact that investigators never looked at the physical server has led some conspiracy theorists, and now the president, to suggest foul play.
“They” would appear to be wrong. CrowdStrike, a U.S. cyber security firm that helped the DNC conduct the investigation, was referenced by Trump during his call with Zelensky. Fringe conspiracy theorists have falsely claimed that CrowdStrike’s founder, Dmitri Alperovitch, is Ukrainian and would therefore have a motive to blame the hack on Russia. But Alperovitch is not Ukrainian; he is a Russian-born U.S. citizen.
