Mueller Report. The Mueller Report is a comprehensive document detailing the findings of the Special Counsel investigation (2017–2019) led by Robert Mueller, a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This investigation was authorized by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein of the United States Department of Justice to probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and potential Collusion between the Donald Trump presidential campaign and Russian government officials, including Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov. The report's release was highly anticipated, with many United States Congress members, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, calling for its publication.
The Mueller Report is divided into two volumes, with the first focusing on Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and the second examining potential Obstruction of justice by Donald Trump and his associates, including Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort. The report draws on interviews with numerous key figures, such as James Comey, Jeff Sessions, and Michael Flynn, as well as documents obtained from the White House, Trump Organization, and other sources.

The Special Counsel investigation (2017–2019) was launched in response to concerns about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, which were raised by United States intelligence community agencies, including the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The investigation was also prompted by the Dismissal of James Comey as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which was widely criticized by United States Congress members, including Richard Burr and Mark Warner. The Mueller Report builds on earlier investigations, such as the FBI investigation into Donald Trump's ties to Russia and the Senate Intelligence Committee's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, led by Richard Burr and Mark Warner.
The Special Counsel investigation (2017–2019) involved a wide range of activities, including interviews with key witnesses, such as George Papadopoulos and Rick Gates, and the collection of documents from various sources, including the Trump Organization and the White House.
