In April 2017, Mensch claimed that "sources with links to the intelligence community" told her that it "is believed that Carter Page, former campaign aide to President Trump went to Moscow in early July carrying with him a pre-recorded tape of Donald Trump offering to change American policy if he were to be elected, to make it more favorable to Putin. In exchange, Page was authorized directly by Trump to request the help of the Russian government in hacking the election." No evidence has been published to corroborate any of these allegations either. When others have questioned her claims, she has often attacked them on social media as being witting or unwitting agents of Russia.
