"Here’s a list of statements Mueller affirmed as accurate: Russia engaged in a sweeping and systematic effort to influence the 2016 election. Russia reached out to the Trump campaign as they were trying to accomplish this. The Trump campaign welcomed help from Russia. Donald Trump Jr. said the campaign would “love” dirt on Hillary Clinton provided by Russia. Trump called on Russia to hack Clinton’s emails. Trump praised Russia’s release of the Democratic emails hacked by WikiLeaks. Trump’s campaign based a messaging strategy around the hacked materials. Members of the Trump campaign were trying to enrich themselves personally during the campaign and transition. Paul Manafort was trying to achieve debt forgiveness from a Russia oligarch. Michael Flynn was trying to make money from Turkey. Trump was trying to make money from a Trump Tower in Moscow. Numerous Trump associates lied about this, including Flynn, Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Cohen, and George Papadopolous. Manafort encouraged others to lie. Mueller’s investigation was not a “witch hunt,” as Trump has claimed. Russian interference was not a “hoax,” as Trump has claimed. Russia wanted Trump to win the election. Russia informed Trump campaign officials of this intention. Russia committed federal crimes in order to help Trump win. The Trump campaign lied to cover up their dealings with Russia during the campaign."
