Justice Department releases document outlining Mueller’s mandate to investigate Russia – Raw Story

On Wednesday, Politico reported that the Department of Justice is releasing the memo that laid out the precise nature of how former special counsel Robert Mueller was tasked with investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia — which has long been sought by President Donald Trump’s allies. “The memo, ‘The Scope of Investigation and Definition of Authority,’ was sent on Aug. 2, 2017, to Mueller by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general at the time,” reported Daniel Lippman and Kyle Cheney. “The unredacted bullet points include four names, beginning with former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. It tasks Mueller with determining whether Page committed a crime by ‘colluding with Russian government officials’ as they interfered in the 2016 election.”
