President Donald Trump's Republican allies have propagated a baseless conspiracy theory that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 presidential elections.
GOP representatives recently alluded to the theory during public impeachment investigation hearings regarding the president's Ukraine strategy., the former top official on Russian affairs at the National Security Council, who had been called to give evidence on Trump's alleged efforts to secure a Ukrainian investigation into possible 2020 rival Joe Biden in exchange for frozen military aid.
Hill branded such a suggestion"a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."on Fox News that there were"very interesting" links between the Democrats and Ukraine. The president claimed that Democratic National Committee servers—hacked by Russia in 2016—were actually hacked by Kiev and secretly spirited away to Ukraine as part of a cover up.
Trump claimed the servers were given to a company called CrowdStrike, which Trump said is owned by"a very wealthy Ukrainian." CrowdStrike is actually an American internet security company co-founded by Russian-born Dmitri Alperovitch, who is also an American citizen. In reality, the servers are not in Ukraine, and the FBI did not consider it necessary to take custody of the hardware for its investigation.
