A conspiracy theory about Ukraine election interference involves corruption and an Obama-appointed ambassador.
As Ukraine prepares for its presidential elections on March 31, collusion with a foreign country and President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort have made their way into the public discourse. And President Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., and the president’s favorite television presenter Sean Hannity are helping the conversation along, alleging that anti-corruption leaders in Ukraine tried to sway the U.S. election in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Lutsenko alleged that Sytnyk published information about secret payments from Ukraine’s former President Yanukovych's party to Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort in order to hurt the Trump campaign. The bureau says the information was published in the name of transparency, not to influence the U.S. election.
Previous reports suggested that Ukraine's government may have stopped cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Manafort so that the Trump administration would sell the country lethal weapons with which to defend itself from pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. And a Ukranian court ruled in December last year that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau’s transparency efforts were an attempt to influence U.S. elections.
"It's outrageous that anyone would question the motive of Ukrainian authorities for investigating Paul Manafort—a corrupt political hack who worked for Ukraine's disgraced, kleptocratic former president," Carpenter told Newsweek.
