President Trump's ex-Russian Adviser Tells U.S. Lawmakers That The Ukraine Meddling Theory Is Fiction

Reuters: Former Trump aide calls Ukraine meddling theory fiction; Trump would welcome Senate trial

Fiona Hill spoke on the last day of public testimony scheduled before the Democratic-led House Intelligence Committee probing whether Trump improperly asked Ukraine to launch investigations that would benefit him politically in return for a White House meeting or the release of U.S. security aid.

WNU Editor: This is another example on the disconnect between Washington, its foreign policy establishment, and what may actually be happening out there. President Donald Trump’s former Russia adviser believes that Ukraine meddling is fiction, so what is her explanation on this Politico report from 2017 .... Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire (Politico), or even this story from The Hill earlier this year .... Ukrainian to US prosecutors: Why don't you want our evidence on Democrats? (The Hill). Then there is the Ukraine media and their massive coverage of this story which makes Fiona Hill's assertion yesterday that Ukraine did not meddle in the 2016 Presidential election even more confusing. So who to believe? A former official with enormous government resources behind her who says talk of meddling is fiction, or others who are publicly reporting on this story and providing evidence to back-up their reporting. You tell me.
