A former US ambassador to Russia says Russian President Vladimir Putin was 'probably joyful' about — and may have enabled — the conspiracy theory circulated by some Republicans that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 elections
"probably joyful" about -- and may have enabled -- the conspiracy theory circulated by some Republicans that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 elections.
The criticism from Huntsman, President Donald Trump's own nominee, comes as Trump and several of his allies have propagated the conspiracy theory that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election as the impeachment inquiry into the President intensifies. But the unsupported assertions of Ukrainian involvement are widespread. House Republicans' report analyzing impeachment inquiry evidence thus far asserted that"senior Ukrainian government officials worked in 2016 to support Secretary Clinton." Claims of such a top-down effort by the Ukrainian government to defeat Trump are not supported by the evidence.
