In October 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported that a Russian official was the source of accusations against Trump about collusion with Moscow … The media wrote that we are talking about a native of Perm, Olga Galkina, who in the past held the post of vice mayor of Saratov and head of the press service of the governor of the Saratov region. Galkina herself called this information untrue.
The main source of the dossier, according to the American media, was a native of the USSR, analyst Igor Danchenko. According to The Wall Street Journal, it was him who Galkina provided information when she worked in Cyprus in 2016.
In April 2019, US Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller published a report on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election, which he won Donald Trump. The document claimed that Moscow did interfere in the American electoral process, but the existing suspicions about the connection between the Russian side and Trump could not be confirmed.
