Mueller Report

Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller's Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election was released on the Internet, April 18, 2019. The report identified "sweeping and systemic" Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, including a social media "information warfare" campaign favoring the Trump campaign, hacking of databases and release of stolen materials. Russia also targeted election-related databases in several states, and gained access to millions of voter registration records. 

The report produced more than three dozen indictments and seven guilty pleas or convictions. Fourteen other criminal matters were referred to elements of the Justice Department.

The report found numerous instances where the president may have obstructed justice, many of them analyzed by Quinta Jurecic of LawfareBlog, here. Trump refused to be interviewed by Mueller or his team.

Trump likely lied to Mueller's investigators -- something eventually investigated by the House of Representatives after former campaign chairman Rick Gates and former campaign manager Paul Manafort each apparently told courts that Trump had discussed Wikileaks with campaign operative Roger Stone. In written statements Trump denied recalling discussing Wikileaks with Stone.
