| Summary: | A report on Russian interference in the 2016 American election. A cyber-attack on the Democratic Party and its candidates in 2016 resulted in the theft of millions of documents that were strategically dumped to influence the outcome of the presidential and congressional elections. While President Trump claims the attack was launched by Ukraine, the Mueller Report clearly explained how the attack came from Russia. After acquiring documents, Russian agents used an online persona, Guccifer 2.0, to leak those documents to Trump operative Roger Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The document theft was a well planned and executed military cyberattack, according to the Justice Department. The release of the documents was often targeted to specific swing areas such as contested congressional districts in Florida. Includes interviews with Robert Anderson, leader of the FBI's Counterintelligence and Cyber Divisions; John Demers, the Assistant Attorney General for National Security Division; Kelly Ward Burton, former Executive Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; Annette Taddeo, a hacked politician; and Mark Caputo, a senior Politico reporter.
