WILMINGTON, NC, August 15, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Elizabeth Graham is an authority on the Trump/Putin relationship. Her articles have appeared worldwide, are published on traditional media outlets, have reached out to 11.7 million readers, and she writes a very popular Substack on topics relating to democracy, Russia, and U.S. politics. Her father was a senior manager working undercover with a CIA Top-Secret Clearance. Elizabeth followed his footsteps in strategic cities like Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Almaty, and many others over twenty years. As a consultant to USAID, she was smuggled into Afghanistan under Taliban rule; brought poverty alleviation programs to Rwanda; and women’s empowerment to Bosnia.
She became bi-cultural (American to Russian), met with President Yeltsin, Mayor Sobchuk and Vice Mayor Putin (in St. Petersburg), and former President Gorbachev. She personally experienced the downfall of the USSR, the chaos of the early Yeltsin years, the KGB/FSB covert ascent and how Vladimir Putin assumed control, as well as enduring hostile conditions and the excruciating pain of her oldest daughter’s death – a homicide. She was invited to join the KGB at least five times and was told that “her ability to speak Russian and go into the US Embassy would be a benefit to Russia.”
Ukraine and the United States are fighting the same foe – one is experiencing an open and aggressive war, and the other is enduring a long-term strategic surreptitious takeover to fulfill Putin’s Cold War revenge against the US. When Graham returned to her birth country, she found it losing its democracy.
As Trump remakes the U.S. government to mirror the Kremlin – including its gaudy gold trappings – Ms. Graham is one of the few Americans who grasps the full significance of what he is happening. Distracted by Donald Trump’s sensationalism, his attacks on other countries, and his obsession on tariffs which increase consumer costs – many Americans continue to overlook a grave threat playing out in the United States.
“Vladimir Putin’s vengeance includes a detailed plan, published in 1997 as The Foundations of Geopolitics, to undermine the United States from the top down by placing a manipulable man enticed by money and sex in the presidency, and from the bottom up by infiltrating the country with Russian Organized Crime (ROC) to disrupt American lives – drugs, gambling, arson, murder, threatening phone calls, and more,” Graham stated.
“Today (August 2026) “Trump’s latest document dump of declassified FBI communications tries to contort long-established facts about the U.S. – Russian investigation into a smoking gun of a criminal conspiracy.” (Adam Klasfeld and Allison Gill’s discussion on the FBI Trump memos). Trump is still attempting to cover up his relationship with Russians.
“In the past eighteen months, Vladimir Putin’s influence over Donald Trump has become increasingly apparent – it is no longer speculation. The U.S. stopped supporting Ukraine in their struggle against Russian aggression. The war in Iran has primarily benefited China and Russia at a cost to US taxpayers of $2 billion per day; the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro served Putin’s interests; and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany, Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan weakened American military power. NATO’s fracture advances a long-standing Putin objective; and, perhaps most consequentially, USAID was shut down. Graham worked as the senior manager of several American NGO’s operating in Russian-speaking countries – most funded by USG. USAID contractual reports included local political and governmental information that was fed to the CIA via reporting to USAID. Putin knew this. The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has warned that USAID’s closure could cause approximately 22 million preventable deaths in Africa by 2030, most of them children. This action alone would place Donald Trump at the top of history’s most ruthless mass killers, surpassing even Stalin and Hitler in cruelty.
“Many Americans fail to see that Mr. Trump is committing treason—or that Russia wants him in the White House because he is weakening our democracy, dismantling our government, and alienating our border neighbors and allies abroad. For decades, Trump has been tied to Russian interests through money and proposed business deals. If you ‘follow the money trail’ it leads through Russia to Trump’s bank accounts. “Capital One closed roughly 300 bank accounts linked to Donald Trump’s businesses. The bank stated in a court filing that an internal anti-money laundering review prompted the closures”. (AI Overview)
“President Trump, long associated with dishonesty and convicted of fraud and 34 felony counts, is again using the federal government—as he did in 2020—to illegally change election rules in his favor. Without intervention in 2026, America may hold its last free election in November 2026.”
