Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort briefed Konstantin Kilimnik, a man with suspected ties to Russian intelligence services, about key battleground states in the 2016 presidential election including Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, according to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
The Mueller report notes that Manafort expected Kilimnik to share the Trump campaign information with individuals in Ukraine and with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nevertheless, the report notes that Manafort himself brief Kilimnik about the Trump campaign, including discussions about “battleground” states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Most of these states were major swing states where Trump won by a small margin.
Analysts have long wondered whether members of the Trump campaign assisted the Russian efforts to target these states with fake news and social media campaigns that favored Trump’s candidacy over Clinton’s. The Russian election interference campaigns often appeared to have been informed by insider knowledge of the U.S. political system.
Yeah, the winner typically wins the battleground states.
'Briefed Russian intelligence member' in the headline becomes 'suspected links to the Russian government' Why the deception?
Information the Russians could have gotten from the internet anyways. Just as I knew, living in Sweden. Hardly secret info.
But did they really vote for Trump or were the machines rigged ?
They stole the election. Anyone with half a brain knows it. MuellerReport
I think the statement should read “battleground states that APPARENTLY voted for Trump”
This is conspiracy!! This is collusion realDonaldTrump conspired with Russia. He took calls & knew when emails were being released
Wow
