China News Service, February 24th. According to the US Chinese website, recently, US media reported that the US intelligence community believes that Russia is intervening in the 2020 presidential election to help Trump re-election. In response, Robert O'Brien, a U.S. national security adviser, refuted such reports as baseless.

"I don't see any information indicating that Russia is taking any steps to try to re-elect President Trump." O'Brien said in an interview with the ABC program. "I think this is in line with what we have heard before The story is the same. We are very strict with Russia and have always performed well in terms of election security. Therefore, I think this is unfounded. "

A report published last week stated that a senior intelligence official briefed members of the House of Representatives in both parties earlier in February and stated that Russia had "mature willingness" to let Trump be re-elected.

Trump has repeatedly denied the intelligence in the following days, saying on social media on the 21st that it was "another false propaganda campaign" launched by Democrats in Congress.

On the show, ABC's George Stephen Nolops repeatedly pressured O'Brien on recent reports and asked if the intelligence officer Shelby Pearson was lying. O'Brien disagreed, but later said that Republicans who were briefed told him that "no information was provided to support this argument."

"I mean I didn't see this analysis. No one gave me a brief introduction, including (information) leadership." O'Brien said.

According to reports, the U.S. intelligence community claimed that Russia had committed to intervening in the 2016 U.S. election to profit Trump and hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary. FBI Director Christopher Ray testified before Congress in 2020 that Russia's attempts after the 2016 election "have never stopped."

On the other hand, Democratic candidate Sanders acknowledged on the 21st that U.S. intelligence officials informed him that Moscow was working to intervene in the Democratic primary to help him be elected. Sanders said he was informed of Russian intervention "about a month ago" and speculated that the news was scheduled to be announced on the eve of the Nevada primary.

In this regard, O'Brien said in an ABC interview that Russia hopes to help Sanders' report "no surprise", but strongly opposes reports involving Trump.
