This week, the Senate Intelligence Committee released the fifth volume of its investigation into the alleged Russian interference during the 2016 elections. New details have revealed the involvement of Donald Trump’s eldest daughter Ivanka Trump, in pushing to expose the WikiLeaks emails prior to the elections.
The fifth and most likely final volume of the Senate Intel Report reveals the involvement of First Daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump in exposing the WikiLeaks emails days before the 2016 elections. Ivanka told the Trump campaign at the time to start drafting two tweets a day revealing the hacked emails of the Democratic Party. Among those people in the campaign who were privy to the information were then-campaign adviser Steve Bannon and then-speechwriter Stephen Miller.
At the time, the US intelligence community was already warning about Russia being the mastermind of the hacking of Democratic emails. But Ivanka’s involvement appeared not to stop there, as the report continues to reveal that she was involved in the efforts of setting up the meeting between her father and Russian president Vladimir Putin as well as the Moscow Trump Tower projects. Her 2006 trip to Russia was also touched on in the report.
One email Ivanka sent to the top Trump campaign officials pushed to continuously spread the information about the hacked emails of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. It would ultimately cost her the election despite winning the popular vote. “In mid-October, Ivanka Trump tasked the Campaign’s senior officials with preparing two Trump tweets every day linking to WikiLeaks content, which, she said, would help ‘refocus the narrative,’” according to the Senate report.
WikiLeaks contacted the Trump campaign through Ivanka’s brother Donald Trump Jr.
The former first lady and Secretary of State was also among the top Democrats who spoke on the third night of the Democratic Convention. Clinton invoked her 2016 loss in her speech, asking Americans to vote in the upcoming elections. Hillary warned that former vice president Joe Biden needs to win against Donald Trump by an overwhelming amount, and noted that even if Biden, as well as his running mate Kamala Harris, would lead the popular vote, they could still lose the electoral college votes.
“Don’t forget, Joe and Kamala can win by three million votes and still lose. Take it from me. So we need numbers overwhelming, so Trump can’t sneak or steal his way to victory,” said Clinton.
