A similar effort was brought to light after the [[2018 Midterm elections]], including the creation of fake accounts to sway the 2017 Senate election in [[Alabama]] against [[Roy Moore]]. Joe Trippi, a Democratic operative who helped manage the 2017 Senate campaign in Alabama, said the president is partially insulated from the fallout over his own remarks by a "media echo chamber that is very disciplined about just picking up whatever the misdirection of the day is and amplifying it." That protective armor makes it all the more critical for Democrats to turn up the volume on anti-Trump messaging, he said.

===Neustar===
On September 29, 2020 the Biden campaign paid Neustar, the cyber firm that hacked the Trump White House, $18,819, [[FEC]] records show.<ref>https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?202010219326734372</ref> Neustar is at the center of Special Counsel [[John Durham]]’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect "derogatory" information about Donald Trump. Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer [[Michael Sussmann]], who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-had-firm-at-center-of-trump-hacking-scandal-on-campaign-payroll/</ref>
