A declassified report from the Trump-era special counsel John H. Durham reveals that a key piece of evidence used to support the claim that Hillary Clinton's campaign conspired to frame Donald Trump for colluding with Russia was likely fabricated by Russian spies. The evidence in question is an email from July 27, 2016, that suggested Clinton had approved a plan to tie Trump to Russia. Durham's investigation concluded that the email was probably manufactured, and that it was part of a larger trove of Russian intelligence reports analyzing purported emails stolen from Americans. Despite this, Trump supporters have continued to misinterpret the evidence, with some accusing Obama of 'treason.'
