Trump on Hillary’s alleged role in Russia smear: ‘For 3 years I had to fight those crooked people off’
May 22, 2022 | Vivek Saxena
ormer President Donald Trump is furious now that testimony appears to confirm that failed 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton played an instrumental role in the dissemination of the Alfa Bank smear.
“This is one of the greatest political scandals in history. For three years, I had to fight her off, and fight those crooked people off, and you’ll never get your reputation fully back. Where do I get my reputation back?” he said in exasperated remarks to Fox News.
“I had to fight them off. And if we had real leadership, instead of people like Mitch McConnell, they would do something about it. And guys like Bill Barr. They would have done something about it.”
He added that the trumped-up Alfa Bank smear distracted law enforcement and intelligence officials from what “could have been a real danger with Russia.”
Made to Fox News on Saturday, his remarks came a day after Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, Robby Mook, testified during former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s trial that she herself had “agreed” to the smear.
