→Ukrainian collusion: 2016
Paul Sperry of Realclearinvestigations documented how the Ukrainian government, working with both the [[Obama administration]] and the [[2016 Clinton campaign]], Ukrainian officials intervened in the 2016 race to help [[Hillary Clinton]] and hurt Donald Trump in a sweeping and systematic foreign influence operation. The improper, if not illegal, operation was run chiefly out of the Ukrainian Embassy in [[Washington, D.C.]] where officials worked with Alexander Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American [[Banderist]] and Clinton campaign operative, to attack the Trump campaign. The Obama White House was also deeply involved in an effort to groom their own favored leader in Ukraine and then work with his government to dig up dirt on and investigate their political rival.

Ukrainian and Democratic operatives also huddled with American journalists to spread damaging information on Trump and his advisers – including allegations of illicit Russian-tied payments that, though later proved false, forced the resignation of his campaign manager Paul Manafort. The embassy actually weighed a plan to get Congress to investigate Manafort and Trump and stage hearings in the run-up to the election. As it worked behind the scenes to undermine Trump, Ukraine also attacked him publicly. Ukraine's ambassador took the extraordinary step of attacking Trump in an Op-Ed article published in ''[[The Hill]]'', an influential U.S. Capitol newspaper, while other top Ukrainian officials slammed the GOP candidate on [[social media]].
