It provides information about [[Russia]] modifying the results of the [[2016 United States presidential election]]. [[Robert Mueller]] released this official document to argue that [[Donald Trump]] had made use of help from Russia to become president. The first half of the report shows that the Trump campaign had many ties to the Russians and that there was [[wikt:interference|interference]] in America's elections. The second half shows how the President tried to stop the Russia investigation using the powers of the President. Because the Department of Justice works for the President, Robert Mueller suggests that Congress should investigate. “In this context, a balancing test applies to the separation of powers issues. Applying the test here, we concluded that congress can validly make obstruction of justice statutes applicable to corruptly motivated official acts of the president without undermining his Article II functions” ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== {{Wikiquote}} {{Wikisource}} {{Commonscat}} * Mueller Report, redacted version publicly released April 18, 2019: ** [https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf Justice.gov downloadable, searchable PDF] ** [https://archive.org/details/muellerreport Archive.org]; [https://pro.dp.la/ebooks/mueller-report DPLA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204132853/https://pro.dp.la/ebooks/mueller-report |date=2020-02-04 }}; [https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/18/us/politics/mueller-report-document.htm
