The last national security adviser of the Obama administration claimed on May 31 that the violent demonstrations across the United States which followed the in-custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis could be funded by Russia.

In an interview with CNN on Sunday, Susan Rice said she believes there is a pattern in the nationwide demonstrations against police brutality following Floyd’s death, and that Russia could be behind the widespread violence and riots.
