  • Charges of Ukrainian Meddling? a Russian
    Charges of Ukrainian Meddling? A Russian Operation,The Trump U.S. Intelligence Says Trump Impeached Senatorsʼ Reactions How Everyone Voted Whatʼs Next? Impeachment Moscow has run a yearslong operation to blame Ukraine for its own 2016 election interference. Republicans have used similar talking points to defend President Trump in impeachment proceedings. By Julian E. Barnes and Matthew Rosenberg Published Nov. 22, 2019 Updated Nov. 26, 2019 WASHINGTON — Republicans have sought for weeks amid the impeachment inquiry to shift attention to President Trump’s demands that Ukraine investigate any 2016 election meddling, defending it as a legitimate concern while Democrats accuse Mr. Trump of pursuing fringe theories for his benefit. The Republican defense of Mr. Trump became central to the impeachment proceedings when Fiona Hill, a respected Russia scholar and former senior White House official, added a harsh critique during testimony on Thursday. She told some of Mr. Trump’s fiercest defenders in Congress that they were repeating “a fictional narrative.” She said that it likely came from a disinformation campaign by Russian security services, which also propagated it. In a briefing that closely aligned with Dr. Hill’s testimony, American intelligence officials informed senators and their aides in recent weeks that Russia had engaged in a yearslong campaign to essentially frame Ukraine as responsible for Moscow’s own hacking of the 2016 election, according to three American officials. The briefing came as Republicans stepped up their defenses of Mr. Trump in the Ukraine affair. The revelations demonstrate Russia’s persistence in trying to sow discord among its adversaries — and show that the Kremlin apparently succeeded, as unfounded claims about Ukrainian interference seeped into Republican talking points.

  • 1 Griff Witte, the Trump Administration Tried to Save a U.S. University by Playing Nice with an Autocrat
    June 3, 2019 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL U.S. Department of State Office of Information Programs and Services A/GIS/IPS/RL SA-2, Suite 8100 Washington, DC 20522-0208 [email protected] Re: Freedom of Information Act Request Dear Freedom of Information Officer: Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and the implementing regulations of the Department of State (State), 22 C.F.R. Part 171, American Oversight makes the following request for records. The United States’ policy towards Hungary has pivoted sharply in the past year, as the influence of Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has reportedly risen within the Trump administration and State’s criticism of Orbán’s human rights record and recent democratic backsliding has waned. In December 2018, the U.S. stood by as Orbán evicted the prestigious university and bastion of academic freedom, Central European University (CEU), from Budapest.1 This month, President Trump hosted Orbán in the White House—the first such visit since 2005.2 When asked in a recent interview about Orbán’s description of his government as an “illiberal democracy,” Trump’s ambassador to Hungary, David Cornstein, responded: “I can tell you, knowing the president for a good 25 or 30 years, that he would love to have the situation that Viktor Orbán has, but he doesn’t.”3 1 Griff Witte, The Trump Administration Tried to Save a U.S. University by Playing Nice with an Autocrat.
