Trump calling it a hoax marks it as true

Bronx: In his speech before the UN on Sept. 22, President Trump referred for the umpteenth time to what he has for the past decade labeled the “Russia hoax.” But there’s no doubt that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election. That was the conclusion of the so-called Mueller Report.

It was also the conclusion of the U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence, which released its own report in August 2020 after a three-year “bipartisan and thorough investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and undermine our democracy,” in the words of its acting chairman, Marco Rubio. The report described how Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign chairman, shared internal campaign polling data and strategy with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer. Manafort also attended a meeting on June 9, 2016 in Trump Tower along with Don Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and a number of Russian nationals — including lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin and businessman Ike Kaveladze — to dig up “dirt” on candidate Hillary Clinton.

Labeling extensive, irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling a hoax is as dishonest as labeling climate change and the Epstein files scandal hoaxes, which Trump continues to do. Now he has added to his list the terrifying threats posed by artificial intelligence, which even the CEOs of leading AI corporations have warned are real.
