Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Mueller Report is an important document that looked into what happened during the 2016 United States presidential election. It investigated if Russia tried to change the election results and if Donald Trump's campaign worked with Russia. Robert Mueller, a special investigator, wrote this report.

What the Mueller Report Investigated

The Mueller Report focused on two main things. First, it looked into whether people from the Trump campaign had connections with Russia. It also investigated if Russia tried to influence America's elections.

Key Findings of the Report

The report was divided into two main parts.

  • The first part showed that there were many links between the Trump campaign and Russian individuals. It also described how Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
  • The second part looked at whether President Trump tried to stop the investigation into Russia. It examined if he used his presidential powers to do this.

Why the Report Was Important

Because the Department of Justice works for the President, Robert Mueller suggested that Congress should look into the findings further. This was to make sure that the powers of the President and the laws about stopping investigations were balanced correctly.
