On 25 November 2016, the web siteWorld News Daily Report published an article reporting that Edward Snowden claimed Russia successfully subverted an already-corrupt 2016 general election in favor of Donald Trump: According to the story, Russian operatives hijacked a system that had already been rigged for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in its final stages to engineer a Trump win, using existing rumors about voting irregularities in the state of Wisconsin to bolster its claims. However, there is no truth to any of the claims, as WNDR is a fake news site that uses outlandish, usually topical fabrications to attract traffic via social media. The article uses old, unrelated images of Edward Snowden to suggest that he recently made claims about Russia having a hand in Trump's win, but the former CIA contractor made no such statements at any point after the November 2016 election.
