Why Russia Hacked Our Election
Setup
Vladimir Putin offered Donald Trump a swap at the now infamous Helsinki summit: I’ll let you interview the twelve Russian agents accused of hacking DNC emails, if you give my team access to Bill Browder. Browder is the founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management and author of the 2015 New York Times best-seller Red Notice, which recounts his experience as the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005. Join Browder for an evening of conversation about Putin, hacking, and why his human rights activism has him lodged so firmly under Putin’s skin. Stick around after the event for a book signing with Bill Browder.
