Leaked Putin papers appear to confirm Russia’s putting a “mentally unstable” Trump into the White House. Putin ordered a wide-ranging spy agency operation after a closed meeting of his national security council on January 22, 2016.
These new Russian documents reveal Russia’s support for Trump’s election in 2016 would “’definitely lead to the destabilisation of the US’s sociopolitical system’ and see hidden discontent burst into the open.”
Vladimir Putinpersonally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during aclosed session of Russia’s national security council, according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents.
The key meeting took place on 22 January 2016, the papers suggest, with the Russian president, his spy chiefs and senior ministers all present.
They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.
Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.
Also Agalarov’s son, Emin, visited Trump in May 2015 to discuss Trump’s planned run for presidency. Agalarov was Trump’s business partner in Moscow for Miss universe and close to Putin who organized the Trump Jr-Manafort-Kushner- Russian intel strategy meet at Trump Towers

BREAKING: New @lukeharding1968 article based on reportedly secret Kremlin documents shows multiple agency effort from Russia to make Trump president in 2016.
This is interesting, because Russia had been using propaganda to attack democracies for 100 straight years, so it’s surprising the technique would be discussed in this fairly novel and naive way at such a level. (cc: @davidashimer) pic.twitter.com/O6fQzypVbB

Angela Merkel is scheduled to arrive at the White House on Thursday for talks with President Biden — the fourth U.S. president she has known since becoming German chancellor. It will likely be her last trip to Washington before leaving office. https://t.co/kPg4QF6FXI
