The fbi says 44yearold elena khusyanova is part of an ongoing russian conspiracy to spread distrust towards candidates for u. S. Political office, and the u. S. Political system, and to sow division and discord. Much of the activity involves social media posts like this targeting hotbutton issues in the u. S. Gun rights, immigration, the Nfl National Anthem debate, and race relations, specifically tensions erupting from the 2017 charlottesville protests. The russian posed as americans and had thousands of followers on social media. President trump suggesting the impact was minimal. It didnt have anything to do with my campaign. All the hackers and everybody that you see, had nothing to do with my campaign. If theyre hackers, they probably like Hillary Clinton better than me.
