Declassified Durham Report Details Alleged Clinton Plot to Smear Trump

Recent declassified materials related to Special Counsel John Durham's 2023 report have intensified claims that the Russiagate investigation was a politically motivated scheme orchestrated by top Democratic figures, including Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama. President Trump accused Obama of being the "mastermind" behind this alleged effort to fabricate a connection between his 2016 campaign and Russian interference, citing memos suggesting Clinton's approval and Obama's encouragement of the plan. These documents, declassified at the request of Senator Chuck Grassley, reveal a strategy to "smear Donald Trump" by amplifying the Russia collusion scandal, with involvement from senior intelligence officials. While some media outlets like Rolling Stone dismissed this new evidence as likely Russian disinformation, Trump and his allies argue it exposes deep-seated political manipulation. Meanwhile, unrelated claims by President Trump regarding India ceasing Russian crude imports were officially denied by the Indian government, clarifying that their oil purchases remain within international guidelines. The controversy surrounding Russiagate continues to dominate political discourse, overshadowing other issues and fueling partisan debates.
