DOJ releases hundreds of pages of memos from Mueller probe
By Justin Wise - 11/02/19 01:33 PM EDT

The Department of Justice on Saturday released a collection of documents related to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.

The public disclosure came in response to five separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits filed by BuzzFeed News in an attempt to gain access to the primary-source documents Mueller's investigative unit accumulated over the course of its probe, the news outlet reported.


BuzzFeed News said its lawsuits requested subpoenas and search warrants Mueller's team issued, in addition to any emails, memos, letters, talking points, legal opinions, and interview transcripts it created. The DOJ had reportedly pushed back against the request, saying that the records being sought could total 18 billion pages.

Mueller notes show that Trump wanted stolen Democratic emails possessed by WikiLeaks

By Tal Axelrod - 11/02/19 04:43 PM EDT

President Trump and officials on his 2016 presidential campaign had several private conversations about how they could obtain stolen Democratic emails WikiLeaks had possession of in 2016, according to new interview notes from former special counsel Robert Mueller obtained and released by CNN.

The notes recount interviews with former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates in which he detailed the Trump campaign’s efforts to obtain damaging information on 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, including emails that the intelligence community later concluded were stolen by Russian hackers.

"Gates recalled a time on the campaign aircraft when candidate Trump said, 'get the emails.' [Michael] Flynn said he could use his intelligence sources to obtain the emails," investigators wrote in a summary of Gates's April 2018 interview with Mueller's team.
