DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The attack on Trump was orchestrated by the US Secret Service

SUMMARY

Certainly the American Secret Service, and probably the FBI, are complicit in the attack on former President Trump. The number of errors is so large that it is almost certainly a deliberate act. When faced with systematic errors it means that one is dealing with an intentional act. Who is interested in Trump's death? The Democratic Party obviously: it is clear to everyone that Biden is not mentally capable of running an election campaign.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory not backed by any evidence, aiming to exploit the attempt on the life of former US president Donald Trump to advance recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about global elites and the US Deep State.

The shooter who tried to kill Trump has been positively identified as 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Although his motives remain unclear, his former classmates described him as conservative-leaning and as a “misfit” and a “loner”. There is nothing indicating that he may be linked to any broader conspiracy.

Promoting conspiracy theories is a frequent pro-Kremlin technique to sow mistrust in institutions in democratic countries. See other examples in our database, such as claims that the West is behind the attempt on Slovak PM Robert Fico's life, that JFK was assassinated by Israel which controls US deep-state, that globalists aim to destroy Russia because Russia supports transition to a multipolar world order, or that there was electoral fraud in the US because the Deep State didn’t want Trump re-elected.

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
