In fact we are sure that the claims of Russian cooperation with the Trump campaign in 2016 were fake news because there has been an important inquiry during years which could not prove these claims. On the contrary, there are many testimonies of problems during this 2020 presidential election and during the preparation of this election but there has not been a real and important inquiry about this.
