The day after a former White House Russia expert warned about the danger of propagating a "fictional narrative" that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 presidential election, President Donald Trump went on national TV Friday and pushed that very conspiracy theory.
The president’s continued fixation on the debunked theory came the morning after former National Security Council official Fiona Hill, during her public testimony to impeachment investigators, warned that advancing the false narrative only plays into Russia’s hands.
“Some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country-and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves,” Hill said. “I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests.”
The president also accused David Holmes, a diplomat at the U.S. embassy in Ukraine, of making up his sworn public testimony he gave alongside Hill Thursday regarding a phone call Holmes said he overhead between Trump and Sondland during which Holmes said he could hear Trump asking Sondland about "investigations." Trump said “that was a total phony deal.”
“How about the guy with the telephone? I guarantee you that never took place,” Trump said. “I've been watching guys 40 years make phone calls and I can't hear, you could be two feet away I can't hear people making calls.”

RE: “Trump continues to push debunked Ukraine conspiracy theory”
For real? Over 3 years of continuously debunked Dem witch-hunting (the methodology should terrify a sane person) and you have the gall to say it’s the President pushing the false narrative - pathetic

ABC leftist disinformation. Old Marxists never die. They just write and smell that way.
Trump continues to push debunked ‘gravity’ theory, when obviously magic is at work.
