New York-based DJ, Moby, bizarrely claims the CIA pushed him to promote Trump-Russia collusion hysteria. In an interview with Kentucky radio station WFPK this week, the singer-songwriter said current and former CIA agents told him ‘[Trump] is the Manchurian Candidate, like [Putin] has a Russian agent as the President of the United States.’

Talking with WFPK’s Kyle Meredith, Moby cited “active and former CIA agents” who were “truly concerned” about Trump’s collusion with Russia. “They were like, ‘This is the Manchurian Candidate, like [Putin] has a Russian agent as the President of the United States,’” he said. “So they passed on some information to me and they said, like, ‘Look, you have more of a social media following than any of us do, can you please post some of these things just in a way that … sort of put it out there.’” He added, “It’s really disturbing and it’s going to get quite a lot darker. Like the depths of the Trump family in business and their involvement with organized crime, sponsored terrorism, Russian oligarchs, it’s really dark. I guess we should all, like, fasten our seat belts and hold on.”

Moby claimed back in February that he was in possession of information proving the now discredited Fusion GPS dossier was indeed authentic.

The DJ also claimed the Kremlin was blackmailing President Trump. “He’s being blackmailed by the Russian government, not just for being peed on by Russian hookers, but for much more nefarious things,” Moby posted to Instagram in February of last year.

Akin to the Congressional investigations led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Moby has not produced a scintilla of proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
