Schiff tells Senate Ukraine interference conspiracy was 'brought to you by the Kremlin'
House impeachment managers on Thursday zeroed in on President Trump's mention of a debunked theory on his call with Ukraine, alleging during the second day of their opening arguments that the president stood to benefit in his reelection campaign from the idea that Kyiv interfered in the 2016 election.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) spent several minutes Thursday afternoon focusing on the theory that Ukraine was involved in the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), one that Trump has continued to mention despite his own advisers repeatedly pushing back on it as debunked.
Mentioning statements from Trump’s former aides, including impeachment witness and former White House Russia expert Fiona Hill, Schiff described the theory as “brought to you by the Kremlin” and alleged Trump was motivated by his own political ambitions in raising it with Ukraine.
“What the president is talking about here is a very specific conspiracy theory going to the server itself, meaning that it was Ukraine that hacked the Democratic server, not the Russians. This theory was brought to you by the Kremlin,” Schiff said in remarks from the Senate floor during the second day of House Democrats’ arguments.
“On the basis of this Russian propaganda, he withheld $400 million in military aid to a nation Russia was fighting – our ally,” Schiff said, reiterating the allegation Trump used military assistance as a cudgel to push for investigations from Ukraine.
Schiff went on to argue that, while pushing the theory would have benefited Russia, it also would have benefited Trump’s reelection by providing him with “talking points” as he campaigns for another four years in the Oval Office.
“He was doing it because it helped him,” Schiff said, echoing prior remarks from Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas), another impeachment manager. “Because it could get these talking points for him in his reelection campaign, and for that he would sacrifice our ally and our own security.”
The House voted along party lines to impeach Trump for abusing his power by pressing Ukraine for investigations that could benefit him politically. Trump has denied wrongdoing and the White House has described the president as the victim as a partisan charade by House Democrats.
Trump has consistently railed against the investigation into his campaign’s contacts with Russia — completed by former special counsel Robert Mueller in March — calling it a “witch hunt” and at times casting doubt on the conclusion that Russia intervened in order to damage his opponent, Hillary Clinton, and boost his own campaign. Mueller did not find that any Trump campaign associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the election.

Zakharova: US occupation, terrorists obstruct evacuation of remaining residents at al-Rukban Camp
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the remaining displaced residents at al-Rukban Camp and al-Tanf region, near borders with Jordan, have not been evacuated as US occupation and terrorists prevent them from getting out the place.
She added that the main reason behind al-Rukban ‘s dilemma is the US occupation, and “this problem cannot be solved by sending humanitarian convoys only, especially as aid doesn’t reach the displaced persons, rather it remains at the hands of militants.”
