Trump lawyers have identified the original source of the false narrative that the 2020 election was fraudulent—Russian interference. Intelligence experts say Russian hackers, trolls, and other agents used a variety of tactics to spread false information and amplify conspiracy theories about the election in the hopes of sowing doubt and undermining the integrity of the vote. The Trump legal team has argued that the false narratives were then picked up and spread by others, such as President Donald Trump and his allies. This included widely-shared misinformation about the voting systems used in key battleground states as well as baseless conspiracy theories about voter fraud. The Trump legal team’s argument has been rejected in a number of court cases, as well as by election officials across the U.S. But the identification of Russian interference as the origin of the false narrative is significant, as it confirms both the widespread nature of the misinformation campaign and its foreign origins.
