Oliver Stone Criticizes Democrats Over Russiagate, Praises Trump's Actions
Left-wing filmmaker Oliver Stone has accused Democrats of ’lying’ during the Russiagate investigation and commended President Trump’s efforts to uncover the truth.
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, acclaimed director Oliver Stone expressed strong criticism against the Democratic Party for what he perceives as the misuse of federal law enforcement in the Russiagate probe. Stone, known for his politically charged films, argued that the Democrats’ actions during the 2016 election were aimed at falsely charging President Trump with Russian collusion. He emphasized the detrimental impact of such claims on American politics and public trust.
Stone went on to praise President Trump for his initiatives to address the issue, notably through an executive order that directed the FBI to declassify files related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. This move, according to Stone, is a crucial step towards transparency and understanding the real events of the 2016 election. Furthermore, Trump’s actions against law firms involved in the scandal, including suspending their attorneys’ security clearances, were also seen by Stone as necessary to combat the weaponization of federal agencies.
The filmmaker also shared his views on international relations, suggesting that both Russia and China could be valuable partners to the United States, contrary to the narrative pushed during the Russiagate saga. Stone criticized the portrayal of these countries as enemies, describing it as propaganda that does not reflect the realities observed in those nations.
Despite his support for Trump’s handling of the Russiagate matter, Stone expressed reservations about the president’s stance on other issues, particularly his approach to pro-Palestinian protesters accused of antisemitism. Stone voiced concern over what he sees as a shift towards censorship under Trump’s administration, which he believes contradicts the president’s earlier promises.
