On Thursday, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) released a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The report by the former FBI director was handed over to the House and Senate Judiciary committees and was released to public on the DOJ¡¯s website making it the most sought after document in two-decades in the US.
Some sections of the 448-page report were blacked out by Attorney General Bill Barr to protect ongoing investigations and for other reasons.

The report focuses on Russia¡¯s interference in the 2016 election, whether the Trump campaign helped in that effort and whether Trump tried to obstruct justice.
There are dozens of instances in the report in which Russian operatives interacted with Trump associates, although Mueller ultimately found no evidence that the campaign worked with Russia in the end.

Although Russia ¡°perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency¡± and the campaign ¡°expected it would benefit electorally¡± from Russian hacking efforts, ¡°the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,¡± the report said.
