Key figures in the Trump-Russia saga are attempting to wield a new weapon in an ongoing court battle against the DNC: special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report.
Key figures in the Trump-Russia saga are attempting to wield a new weapon in an ongoing court battle against the Democratic National Committee: special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report.
Though Mueller's report said the investigation found that the Russian government thought it would benefit from President Donald Trump's victory, and that the Trump campaign"expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts," the report -- as highlighted in Monday's filing --"did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
In its lawsuit, the DNC connected the hacking to several controversial interactions between Trump-linked figures and Russia-linked figures, and alleged an"act of previously unimaginable treachery: the campaign of the presidential nominee of a major party in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the Presidency." Specifically, the DNC alleges violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, known as RICO.
