Treasury sanctions anti-Biden Ukrainian lawmaker for election interference
Treasury sanctions anti-Biden Ukrainian lawmaker for election interference - POLITICO
The Treasury Department has designated Andriy Derkach, a pro-Russian Ukrainian promoting discredited allegations against Joe Biden, for sanctions related to foreign interference in the U.S. election.
Derkach, who was previously identified as a malign actor by the intelligence community, met with President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine in December, as Giuliani mounted an effort to obtain derogatory information on Biden's relationships in Ukraine. On Thursday, the administration went even further in tying Derkach to the Kremlin.

“Derkach, a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, has been an active Russian agent for over a decade, maintaining close connections with the Russian Intelligence Services,” Treasury found. “Derkach has directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored, concealed, or otherwise been complicit in foreign interference in an attempt to undermine the upcoming 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
Derkach has previously denied trying to interfere in the U.S. election, calling it “nonsense” in a statement to POLITICO earlier this summer. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the sanctions designation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Treasury Department acknowledged that Andriy Derkach, the Ukrainian parliament lawyer -- is a Russian agent. This is the same person that Rudy Giuliani has been meeting with and has been pushing out and coordinating false narratives with. The Treasury Dept acknowledges that these are false narratives about Joe Biden that this Russian agent is pushing out. And Trump is amplifying those same false narratives. A fish rots from the head and when the President of the United States is willing to push out Kremlin narratives and get people to work for him to withhold intelligence about what Russia is doing to help his campaign, it puts out elections in jeopardy.
So yes, all you Trumpers, it always was 'RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA' and it still is!
