Special Counsel Robert Mueller leads the most significant political investigation in recent American history. Appointed in May 2017, Mueller probes Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential connections between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. His team pursues obstruction of justice charges while the White House dismisses the inquiry as a "witch hunt." The investigation dominates American politics for nearly two years, resulting in indictments of Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, and Roger Stone. Attorney General William Barr receives Mueller's findings and releases a four-page summary to Congress, but the full report spans over 300 pages. House Democrats subpoena the complete document while Republicans claim vindication. This edition presents Mueller's complete findings alongside constitutional analysis from Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, regulatory documents establishing special counsel powers, and Barr's congressional summary. The investigation joins Watergate as a defining moment in American political history.
