Russia investigation

The Russia investigation primarily refers to a series of inquiries, particularly led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, examining Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It sought to determine whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia and whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice during the investigation. The investigation uncovered evidence of Russian efforts to influence the election through social media and hacking. It also identified multiple contacts between Trump associates and Russian individuals, though it did not establish that the campaign conspired with Russia. The findings led to significant political controversy and ongoing debates about election security and foreign interference.
