Donald Trump’s lawyers have traced the source of accusations of the President’s interference in the US election to “patient zero” – Russian media outlets. In doing so, they have shed light on the ongoing controversy surrounding the election process.
A report released by login Trump’s lawyers states: “The claims of Russian interference developed and proliferated from code patient zero – the Russian media outlets. As these false claims seeped into non-Russian media, the syndication of these allegations resulted in the pervasive and erroneous conclusions currently dominating the public discourse.”
The report argues that the Russian media outwardly disseminated unsubstantiated claims that Donald Trump had attempted to interfere in the election and influence its outcome. This has been the source for growing skepticism from Trump’s opponents over the legitimacy of the election results.
To combat these claims, Trump’s lawyers have utilized evidence to prove the contrary. They note that “there is not a single shred of evidence in the public realm that links the President with any type of involvement” in the election process. According to the evidence, other parties have weighed on the election, but Trump has not had any active role.
Furthermore, the President’s lawyers outline a strategy to deflect any further accusations. They advise employing a labelling and looking away approach. This approach requires refuting the claims in a respectful and polite manner, without feeding the original media narrative that began the controversy.
