Abstract

The issue of Russian intervention in the US elections is a precedent in the United States. Russian parties have used a strong media campaign on various channels, including social networking, accusing the Kremlin-related Internet Research Agency, which launched hundreds of "trolls" To publish news and information to impact the elections For Trump. The attack provoked the US intelligence services. Investigations by Robert Mueller, as well as the three security and intelligence agencies, the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security. Investigations are still ongoing and have not reached a final conclusion. The perception that there is Russian intervention is certain but the question remains that the results are uncertain and are subject to be followed-up.
