Russia Rejects Intervention in 2020 Presidential race to Support Trump, the Kremlin denied that it was intervening with the presidential campaign to improve Republican President Donald Trump’s chances of getting reelected.
U.S. intelligence sources cautioned the House of Representatives last week about the danger of the election.
Behind a closed-door meeting the other week, U.S. security officials told members of the House that Russia was once again involved in US politics even before the November election start, a source familiar with the conversation told Reporters.
US officials have long predicted that Russia, as well as other governments, might try to intervene in the November 3rd presidential race, following Russia’s alleged involvement in the 2016 election which ended in Trump’s landslide victory over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
In that 2016 campaign, U.S. intelligence agencies claimed that Russia employed/used false news stories, cyber espionage as well as other techniques in an attempt to boost Trump’s chance of winning, an allegation which Moscow denies. Putin, himself, has rejected the claims frequently.
The Kremlin confirmed Friday that the newest allegations were false. “These are more cynical statements which will increase, to our regret, as we near the vote,” Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov told journalists. “They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with truth.
Regarding the 2020 Presidential race, Russia Rejects any Intervention.
