Americans need not wonder what would happen if Russia tried to spread disinformation and sow division in the United States leading up to the November presidential election. It appears to be doing so. Out of Ukraine this week came audio recordings that have every appearance of a Kremlin scheme to tar presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., who welcomed Russian aid against Hillary Clinton in 2016, tweeted them out and implied they were damning – though in fact there is absolutely nothing damning about them. Meanwhile, Republican congressional leaders did their part to advance the myth that Mr. Biden’s activities in Ukraine were scandalous.
