Russia rejects Mueller report that documents its interference

Al Jazeera  

According to the report, Russia ‘interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion’. The Kremlin said on Friday that US Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s long-awaited report did not contain any evidence that the Russian state had meddled in the 2016 US presidential election. Mueller’s report, released on Thursday with multiple redactions, detailed extensive contacts between Donald Trump‘s 2016 campaign and Russian operatives who, it said, sought to tilt the election in Trump’s favour. “The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion,” the report said, dedicating hundreds of pages to Russian interference. It added that Trump’s campaign “expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.” But the report did not find evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump’s election campaign and Russia.
