WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump campaign’s interactions with Russian intelligence services during the 2016 presidential election posed a “grave” counterintelligence threat, a Senate panel concluded Tuesday as it detailed how associates of Donald Trump had regular contact with Russians and expected to benefit from the Kremlin’s help.
The panel’s almost 1,000 page report, the fifth and final one from the Republican-led Senate intelligence committee on the Russia investigation, describes in detail how Russia launched an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf. It says Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin’s aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails that were hacked by Russian military intelligence officers.
The findings released Tuesday mark the culmination of a bipartisan probe that produced what the committee called “the most comprehensive description to date of Russia’s activities and the threat they posed.” The investigation spanned more than three years as the panel’s leaders said they wanted to be as thorough as possible in documenting the unprecedented attack on U.S. elections.
The findings echo to a large degree those of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, with the report’s unflinching characterization of furtive interactions between Trump associates and Russian operatives contradicting the Republican president’s claims that the FBI had no basis to investigate whether his campaign was conspiring with Russia. Trump has called the Russia investigations a “hoax.”

”. However, the presidential press service soon deleted this tweet. There were other odious statements written by Rykov in those days: “I want to die for Russia tomorrow,” “I’ve just counted bullets. Three magazines. I will kill about 30 liberals. Glory to Russia,” “I wonder what the liberals will do tomorrow when we go out with weapons. Where can they escape?” Rykov’s militaristic frenzy was picked up by other popular pro-Kremlin bloggers, including Pavel Danilin, Fritz Morgen, Eduard Bagirov and others. The special correspondent of Novaya Gazeta Irek Murtazin filed a complaint against Rykov with the Prosecutor General, accusing him of threats of murder, extremism and inciting social hatred. The complaint had no consequences.
