The Russia investigation origins counter-narrative, or Russia counter-narrative,[1] is a conspiracy theory narrative[2][3] embraced by Donald Trump, Republican Party leaders, and right-wing[4][5] conservatives[2] attacking the legitimacy and conclusions of investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 elections, and the links between Russian intelligence and Trump associates. The counter-narrative includes conspiracy theories such as Spygate, accusations of a secretive, all-powerful elite "deep state" network,[2][3] and other false and debunked claims. Trump in particular has attacked not only the origins but the conclusions of the investigation, and ordered a review of the Mueller report,[6][7][8] which was conducted by attorney general William Barr[9][10] – alleging there was a "deep state plot" to undermine him.[9] He has claimed the investigations were an "illegal hoax", and that the "real collusion" was between Hillary Clinton, Democrats, and Russia – and later, Ukraine.
