Leonard Benardo
Leonard Benardo is a regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations, an organization founded by philanthropist George Soros. He has been implicated in recent allegations regarding the dissemination of information that contributed to the Trump-Russia narrative, particularly through emails that were reportedly hacked by Russian agents in 2016. These communications suggest that Benardo and others were involved in a strategy to link Donald Trump with Russian interference in the U.S. elections, a plan that has drawn significant scrutiny as part of the ongoing investigations into the origins of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane probe.
