Secret papers show Putin’s plan to get Trump as president – VG

Russian President Vladimir Putin is said to have launched a covert operation to support Donald Trump US presidential election in 2016.

It shows leaked Kremlin documents like the British newspaper The Guardian should sit on.

It all started during a closed meeting of Russia’s National Security Council on January 22, 2016, according to the documents. The Russian president and his team must have all been present.

Russia’s three spy agencies have been ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, according to The Guardian.

At this point, Trump was poised to win the Republican nomination race. A report prepared by Putin’s experts recommended that Moscow use all possible forces to secure Trump’s victory.

The Guardian has shown the documents to independent experts who say they appear to be genuine and that random details also seem correct and in line with the Kremlin’s security thinking.

According to The Guardian, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied on Thursday that such a meeting had taken place.

Describes Trump as “mentally unstable”

The report The Guardian is sitting on is classified as secret according to the newspaper. It says Trump is the “most promising candidate” from the Kremlin’s point of view. In addition, a brief psychological assessment has been made of Trump in which he is described as an impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from inferiority complexes.

The documents must also state that the Kremlin is in possession of material that could potentially harm the future president. The documents refer to Trump’s previous unofficial visits to Russia and specific events that are said to have taken place there.

According to the documents, Putin would benefit most from a Republican victory with Trump as president.

This would help Russia’s preferred scenario of social unrest in the United States, undermining the United States’ socio-political system and weakening the US president’s negotiating position.

The Guardian: The Kremlin summit happened

The Guardian further writes that there is no doubt that the meeting in January 2016 took place in the Kremlin.

This picture believes the newspaper stems from the concrete meeting with Putin sitting at one end of the table. Russia’s then-Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is said to have participated along with the country’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

According to an official press release that came with the photo, the meeting was about economics and Moldova, but The Guardian believes that the real purpose of the meeting was the strategy against the American election.

The documents do not mention anything about Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton, but it does mention that it may be an idea to use media resources to undermine leading figures in American politics.

Has repeatedly refused to interfere

According to The Guardian, after the meeting, Putin has set up a new commission, a group of people who were to be appointed to realize the goals of the secret report – also called “No 32-04 vd”.

Vladimir Putin has repeatedly denied charges about having interfered in the US election.

Donald Trump has also previously insisted that the rumors are false.

– He said he did not interfere. I asked him again. And you can only ask a certain number of times … He said he did not interfere in our choice at all. He seemed to be offended by it. He did not do what they say he did, Trump has said after the election.

The documents The Guardian now mentions, according to the newspaper, show that the Russian president and his team have all been involved in helping Trump to the White House.

A few weeks after the meeting, opponent Hillary Clinton’s servers were hacked and thousands of emails were leaked. Aftenposten has previously written about how the Kremlin hacked Clinton’s emails to help Trump.

Andrei Soldatov, an expert on Russia’s spy agencies and author of The Red Web, told the English newspaper that the leaked material “reflects reality”.

Trump has not responded to The Guardian’s requests for comment.
