The Mueller Report

Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election

By: U.S. Department of Justice, Robert S. Mueller III

Narrated by: Dan Williams

This third edition of The Mueller Report, released on November 9, 2020, was compiled using the FOIA-Processed Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. Previously redacted material was released in June 2020 related Roger Stone and additional unredacted information was released by the Department of Justice in November about the Russian interference efforts.

This version of the report has been edited to improve previous editions of the Mueller Report by removing references to legal material, appendices, and footnotes within the full report. Added are references to the approximate length of the redacted material to help with the listening experience for The Mueller Report audio podcast.

Volume one of this report details the Special Counsel’s investigation that established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election principally through two operations. Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

Volume two of this report describes actions the President of the United States took towards the ongoing FBI investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and related matters that raised questions about whether he had obstructed justice.
