Declassified Documents Show Russia, Not China, Meddled in 2020 Election for Trump
Newly declassified documents, intended by Donald Trump to blame China for election interference, actually indicate that Russia was the primary foreign actor attempting to meddle in the 2020 election to favor Trump. These documents reveal that China, while perhaps preferring Biden, took minimal and exploratory steps and avoided more aggressive actions for fear of backlash. Conversely, Russian operatives actively spread disinformation about Joe Biden and Ukraine, with the stated intent of supporting Trump’s reelection bid and targeting election systems. This evidence contradicts Trump’s narrative and suggests that Russia, not China, actively sought to manipulate the election process.
