Questions raised as to whether Trump supports coordinated with Moscow to
spread bogus stories aimed at discrediting Hillary Clinton
.
The spread of Russian-made fake news stories aimed at discrediting Hillary
Clinton on social media is emerging as an important line of inquiry in
multiple investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign
and Moscow.
.
Investigators are looking into whether Trump supporters and far-right
websites coordinated with Moscow over the release of fake news, including
stories implicating Clinton in murder or paedophilia, or paid to boost
those stories on Facebook.
.
The head of the Trump digital camp, Brad Parscale, has reportedly been
summoned to appear before the House intelligence committee looking into
Moscows interference in the 2016 US election. Mark Warner, the top
Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee carrying out a parallel
inquiry, has said that at least 1,000 paid internet trolls working out of
a facility in Russia were pumping anti-Clinton fake news into social media
sites during the campaign.
.
Warner said there was evidence that this campaign appeared to be focused
on key voters in swing states, raising the question over whether there was
coordination with US political operatives in directing the flow of bogus
stories.
.
Robert Mueller, the special counsel appointed by the justice department to
oversee the investigation into the Russian role in the election, is
thought to be looking into all these issues, as well as possible links
between Russian fake news factories and far-right sites in the US.
.
It is a wide-ranging investigation that is examining the unusually large
number of contacts between Trump associates and Russian officials during
the campaign, as well as the possibility that the Kremlin has personal or
financial leverage over members in the Trump camp, including the president
himself according to his own remarks on Twitter.
.
The role of Russian generated fake news is a separate strand which has
gained less attention up to now, but the part it played in depressing the
Clinton vote in key states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in
the critical last days of the 2016 campaign could have helped change the
course of recent American history.
.
A huge wave of fake news stories originating from eastern Europe began
washing over the presidential election months earlier, at the height of
the primary campaign. John Mattes, who was helping run the outline
campaign for the Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders from San Diego, said
it really took off in March 2016.
.
In a 30-day period, dozens of full-blown sites appeared overnight, running
full level productions posts. It screamed out to me that something strange
was going on, Mattes said. Much of the material was untraceable, but he
tracked 40% of the new postings back to eastern Europe.
.
Four of the Facebook members posting virulent and false stories about
Clinton (suggesting, for example, that she had profited personally by
arming Islamic State extremists) had the same name, Oliver Mitov. They all
had a very small number of Facebook friends, including one which all four
had in common. When Mattes tried to friend them and contact them there was
no reply.
