Dmitri Mehlhorn
Dmitri Mehlhorn is an American political advisor. He is an active figure in anti-Trump and Democratic Party politics in the United States.
A political advisor to Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn and a Democratic donor,[1] Melhorn became involved in politics in 2015, when Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States. After Trump gained the presidency in 2016, he became involved in efforts "to get him to not win another election" through social networks and political activism.[2]
In 2024, following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Melhorn suggested in an email that the shooting may have been a false flag incident.[3][4] He subsequently apologized and indicated he regreted sending the message.[5]
