"13 Russians charged with meddling to help Trump in election"
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thirteen Russians and three Russian companies were charged Friday with an elaborate plot to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election through social media propaganda aimed at helping Republican Donald Trump and harming the prospects of his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, prosecutors announced Friday. The indictment, brought by the office of special counsel Robert Mueller, represents the most direct allegation to date of illegal Russian meddling during the election. It says Russians created bogus Internet postings, posed online as American political activists and fraudulently purchased advertisements — all with the goal of swaying political opinion during the bitterly contested race. So much for trumpo calling Russian interference a hoax. This is the real deal, where the rubber meets the road. If trumpo-the-asshole wants a *real* hoax, he needs to look no further than the nearest mirror. |
