NEW: In some instances. the bipartisan report goes further than even former special counsel Robert Mueller in detailing ties between the campaign and Russian individuals.

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.A new bipartisan report released by a Senate panel Tuesday outlines perhaps the most detailed accounting to date of Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election while accusing the White House and others close to Presidentof refusing to cooperate with an investigation into whether the president’s campaign simply benefited or sought to aid Russia’s efforts.

An index authored by Democrats on the committee argued the report"unambiguously shows that members of the Trump Campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to get Trump elected." The committee’s Republicans, on the other hand, said in a separate statement that"after more than three years of investigation by this Committee, we can now say with no doubt, there was no collusion" between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The report also delved into the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 between Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son-in-law, Manafort and individuals with ties to the Russian government who at the time were promising"dirt" on Clinton. "Despite Trump’s recollection, the Committee assesses that Trump did, in fact, speak with Stone about WikiLeaks and with members of his Campaign about Stone’s access to WikiLeaks on multiple occasions," the report says.

The committee also notes that after Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen produced documents for their investigation they"became concerned that multiple witnesses and/or their counsel could have been involved in or aware" of Cohen’s efforts to obstruct their investigation. Trump has repeatedly amplified baseless allegations that his campaign was"spied" upon in 2016 by the Obama Administration, pointing to the issues with how the FBI handled surveillance of Carter Page, a former aide to Trump’s campaign, and their use of a dossier by former British spy Christopher Steele to receive authorization for the surveillance from a federal court.
