Prominent lawyer, Trump donor representing Biden accuser

Wigdor has been a supporter of Trump and provided about $55,000 in campaign contributions in 2016, according to Federal Election Commission records. He has also supported some Democratic politicians, including New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, and has not donated to either Trump’s or Biden’s 2020 campaign.

Over the weekend, another attorney, William Moran, told the AP he was working with Reade.

Moran, who works at a law firm in Columbia, Maryland, previously wrote and edited for Sputnik, a news agency founded and supported by the Russian state-owned media company Rossiya Segodnya. A January 2017 report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Russia’s interference in the 2016 campaign said Sputnik was part of “Russia’s state-run propaganda machine,” which “contributed to the influence campaign by serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to Russian and international audiences.”

Reade herself has faced questions about her past writing praising Russian President Vladimir Putin. Reade on Thursday expressed concern to Kelly about having been “called a Russian agent” and said she had received a death threat from someone who “thought I was being a traitor to America.”

5. Any death threats will be coming from her Russian friends, not Biden's friends

Biden knows her claims are bogus. If she gets too vocal for Putin's taste about her Russian backing, and threatens to spill a few more beans about them than they are comfortable with, well, let's just say that, considering recent events, she would probably do well not to sit too near the windows of high story buildings.

By the way, "Rossiya Segodnya" is a misleading transliteration. "Сегодня" is one of the few Russian words that is NOT pronounced phonetically. It is WRITTEN "Segodnya" but it is pronounced "Sevodnya," which means simply "Today." Rossiya Sevodnya is well known to all of us: Russia Today, or RT.
