Special counsel Mueller laid out in detail in his Russia investigation report the role that prominent Trump campaign officials, Trump critics and the media unwittingly played in promoting messages sent by a Russian troll group with links to the Kremlin
New York Special Counsel Robert Mueller chose to lay out in detail in his Russia investigation report the role that prominent Trump campaign officials, Trump critics and the media unwittingly played in promoting messages sent by a Russian troll group with links to the Kremlin. The details could serve as a warning to Americans to think before they tweet.
The report, released Thursday, outlines among other things how the troll group, which Mueller indicted last year, engaged in a years-long campaign to sow discord in the U.S., and eventually to support the election of Donald Trump, by creating and maintaining fake social media personas and activist organizations designed to look like they were run by real Americans.
— Donald J. Trump September 20, 2017 In August 2016, Trump's Facebook page posted pictures from an event that was part of a series of events supporting his candidacy in Florida, along with a message of thanks. While real Americans attended the series of events in Florida, Mueller alleges that the Russian group were involved in the organization of it.
