“The Mueller Report found that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 United States presidential election.”
The evidence directly supports this claim. Volume I of the Mueller Report explicitly says the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in “sweeping and systematic fashion,” and that conclusion is reinforced by Mueller’s public statement and the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report. The claim accurately reflects the report’s finding.
“The Special Counsel investigation report by Robert S. Mueller III stated that it did not establish that members of Donald J. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
The report uses that formulation explicitly. DOJ copies of the Mueller Report state that the investigation did not establish that Trump campaign members conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election-interference activities. Debate exists over what that language implies, but not over whether the report said it.
