DISINFO: Mueller found no collusion between Trump and Moscow
SUMMARY
Robert Mueller, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), led an investigation from 2017 to 2019 that focused on alleged collusion between the (Donald) Trump presidential campaign and Moscow in 2016.
At the time, charges were brought against more than 30 people, including key Trump advisers, but no evidence of an alleged plot was found.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative attempting to depict accusations of Russian meddling in Western democratic processes as factually unfounded.
Available evidence suggests that Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential poll - which specifically aimed to damage Hilary Clinton's campaign and aid her opponent, Donald Trump, - did affect the outcome of the vote, particularly in three critical swing states where Trump's victory margins were the thinnest.
Mueller's report determined that there were "two main Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election". The first involved attempts by the Internet Research Agency to conduct disinformation and social media operations in the US to sow social discord, with the aim of interfering with the election. The second involved the Russian government's efforts to conduct computer hacking operations designed to gather and disseminate information to influence the election.
The claim that the Special Counsel report led by Robert Mueller's investigation provides no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion is incorrect.
Mueller’s team indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies, for example six former Trump advisers, 26 Russians and three Russian companies.
