BREAKING: @reddit says the post sharing leaked US-UK trade documents used by Jeremy Corbyn was part of a co-ordinated campaign from Russia.

"We believe this was part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia"

@reddit Reddit says it is banning 61 different accounts under its vote manipulation policies.

Without stating the blindingly obvious, this is quite a big deal....
@reddit Worth adding that there is absolutely no suggestion that the document isn't authentic.

The issue however is how the document came to be in the public domain.
@reddit Agreeing with @Graphika_NYC, Reddit believe this resembles the Secondary Infektion campaign that was exposed earlier this year.

Facebook allege the campaign comes from Russia, and has been used to disseminate fake news across social media.
Here's the burning questions: how did Jeremy Corbyn's team acquire the document?

Did the stumble upon it by accident on Reddit (feel unlikely).

Or were they fed it by a source linked to the Reddit post – if so, did they know who said source was?
