Russiagate

Russiagate refers to the controversy surrounding allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to benefit Donald Trump. It involves claims of collusion between Trump's campaign and Russian officials, alongside the hacking of Democratic Party emails. The investigation, led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, sought to determine the extent of this interference and any potential wrongdoing. The findings confirmed Russian efforts to influence the election but did not establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump's campaign and Russia. The issue remains a significant part of political discourse, highlighting concerns about election integrity and foreign interference.
