According to Russian media reports, since former US President Trump won the 2016 election, some US politicians have tried to link Trump's victory with Russia.
On July 15, local time, the British "Guardian" pointed out in a report that according to several documents of unknown origin leaked from the Kremlin, at a private meeting of the Russian Security Conference on January 22, 2016, Russian President Putin personally approved the operation of a secret spy agency to support the "mentally unstable" Trump in the 2016 US presidential election. It is reported that the meeting was attended by Medvedev, then Prime Minister of Russia, and Patrushev, secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
Russia's intelligence and security apparatus was told they should use "all possible forces" to bring Republicans to power at the time, the Guardian said. Participants agreed at the time that Trump's presidency of the White House would help Moscow achieve its strategic goals, including triggering "social unrest" in the United States and weakening the U.S. president's negotiating position.
According to reports, in the so-called "confidential report" formulated by Russian experts, some people believe that Trump is the Kremlin's "most promising candidate." The report also conducted a psychological assessment of Trump, who is considered to be an "impulsive, mentally unstable, psychologically unbalanced person with an inferiority complex."
The "report" also allegedly contained evidence confirming Russia's support for Trump — some documents about "Trump's informal visit to Russia."
Western intelligence agencies were aware of the documents a few months earlier and had studied them.
However, some analysts pointed out that the full text of the report was full of uncertain words such as "seems to show", "suggestions" and "evaluation", which proves that the people who wrote the report also had doubts in their minds.
Later in the day, Russian presidential press secretary Eskov, referring to the Guardian report, pointed out that this assumption was a "pulp fiction." Peskov said: "This is completely fictional. Strictly speaking, it is complete nonsense. ”
