  • A less redacted version of the former special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation reveals damaging new details about the Trump campaign's knowledge of WikiLeaks' document dumps during the 2016 election.
  • Multiple top Trump campaign aides told investigators that Trump himself, then the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, knew WikiLeaks had information that would hurt the Clinton campaign, the report said.
  • Mueller also believed that Trump may have lied to him in his written answers to questions from investigators.
  • Prosecutors also suspected that Trump may have discussed his answers with Roger Stone, the longtime former Republican strategist who was convicted on seven felony counts of obstruction, false statements, and witness tampering.
