The Australian diplomat whose tip to U.S. officials in 2016 sparked the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign — dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” — gave a surprise endorsement of President Donald Trump this week.
Downer wrote that while he is not a U.S. citizen, his sister is, and she has tended to vote for Republicans over the years. His sister, appalled by Trump’s personality, voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 but has now flipped back to Trump for 2020. He says that his sister is voting Trump because of how strong the economy was before the pandemic, the extreme bias in the mainstream media, and how weak Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden is.
