*Editor’s note: On March 4, 2022, Russia enacted a law that criminalizes public opposition to, or independent news reporting about, the war in Ukraine. The law makes it a crime to call the war a “war” rather than a “special military operation” on social media or in a news article or broadcast. The law is understood to penalize any language that “discredits” Russia’s use of its military in Ukraine, calls for sanctions or protests Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It punishes anyone found to spread “false information” about the invasion with up to 15 years in prison.

Political analyst Malek Dudakov doubts Donald Trump will launch an investigation into Kamala Harris anytime soon.

In an interview with NEWS.ru, Malek Dudakov, political analyst and Americanist, said it’s unlikely President Donald Trump will push for a formal investigation into Kamala Harris, former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate, in the near future. He emphasized that the president’s team is currently focused on higher-priority issues, both domestically and internationally.

“As we know, Kamala Harris’ campaign reportedly spent a record-breaking amount — somewhere between $1.5 billion and $2 billion, depending on the source. And yet, they lost the election. Naturally, that’s left many Democratic donors frustrated. Now they want answers. Some are even demanding a full-scale audit to see where the money actually went,” Dudakov explained. “That said, I don’t think we’ll see any major probes anytime soon. Trump’s team is focused on bigger issues, both at home and abroad, than tracking celebrities who may have made millions off the Harris campaign,” he added.

Trump previously called for a major investigation into alleged illegal payments to celebrities by the Harris campaign. He noted that under U.S. law, candidates for public office are not allowed to pay for support.


Политолог Дудаков усомнился, что Трамп устроит расследование против Харрис.

Глава Белого дома Дональд Трамп в ближайшее время вряд ли инициирует расследование против бывшего вице-президента и кандидата в лидеры США от Демократической партии Камалы Харрис, заявил NEWS.ru политолог-американист Малек Дудаков. По его словам, у команды американского президента много более приоритетных задач как внутри страны, так и за ее пределами.

Как мы знаем, штаб Камалы Харрис потратил какие-то рекордные суммы в рамках своей предвыборной кампании: от $1,5 млрд до $2 млрд по разным оценкам. При этом выборы они проиграли. Действительно, очень многие партийные спонсоры демократов недовольны ситуацией и требуют проведения аудита и объяснения, куда все эти деньги пошли. Другое дело, что, на мой взгляд, в ближайшее время мы каких-то больших расследований не увидим, потому что у команды Трампа гораздо больше более приоритетных задач и внутри страны, и вовне, чем работа над выяснением, какие знаменитости заработали десятки миллионов долларов за счет штаба Харрис, — сказал Дудаков.

Ранее Трамп заявил, что незаконные выплаты штаба Харрис знаменитостям должны быть тщательно расследованы. По его словам, согласно законам страны, кандидаты на государственные должности не могут получать поддержку на платной основе.
