U.S. Identifies Rudy Ally and Biden Dirt-Peddler as an 'Active Russian Agent'
The presidents personal lawyer has been working closely with an active Russian agent trying to smear the presidents chief political rival.
Thats the conclusion of the U.S. Treasury Department, which sanctioned on Thursday one of Rudy Giulianis Ukrainian allies for interference in the upcoming U.S. elections. Andriy Derkach worked closely with Giulianiand with the Trump-friendly cable network, OANNto push accusations of political misconduct against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Derkach, a member of Kyivs parliament and son of a former KGB officer, has also been supplying documents to Republicans on Capitol Hill, where Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is conducting an election-eve investigation into the Bidens.
Derkachdescribed by the Treasury Department as an active Russian agent for over a decade, maintaining close connections with the Russian Intelligence Servicesstands accused of orchestrating a covert influence campaign centered on cultivating false and unsubstantiated narratives about the Bidens via edited audio tapes and other unsupported information, which launched corruption investigations in both Ukraine and the United States designed to culminate prior to election day.
As The Daily Beast previously reported, Derkach has been cozying up to team Trump for monthsmeeting with Giuliani in Kyiv in December of last year to push the conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 presidential election. (Thats a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services, Fiona Hill, Trumps former top aide for Russia policy, told Congress.)
