.MikePompeo slams realDonaldTrump's defense of Putin in 2018 as 'mistake': Book
In his new book Never Give an Inch, Pompeo described his reaction when the former president defended Putin among questions that Russia had sought to influence the 2016 election to ensure Trump’s victory. The defense came during a July 2018 press conference when Trump brushed off suggestions that Russia had meddled with the election despite U.S. intelligence indicating the Kremlin sought to boost Trump’s candidacy.
During the 2016 election, the Russian government launched an operation called Project Lakhta that sought to boost Trump’s candidacy over then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. As part of the project, Putin ordered the Russian government to hack computer networks affiliated with the Democratic Party to leak damaging information about Clinton, according to a report from the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2020.
A report released in January 2023 later found that Russia’s attempted interference did little to change “attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior” in the 2016 election.
