Yes I do believe it. It appears that the rumors came about by unnamed anonymous sources in a NYT article. If it were true why are these sources not coming forward? Same as the russian collusion lies and Hunters laptop fiasco used to sway an election. Remember those? If you can't see the attempts at manipulation right there in front of you then you lose any credibility you think you have.
Oh wait, you are a self proclaimed troll, I forgot and apologize for even replying to you. Carry on.
