Senate Report: Russians Targeted Robert Mueller

Russian disinformation campaign...

Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Russia's online disinformation campaign targeted special counsel Robert Mueller on multiple social media platforms, posting messages that sought to frame Mueller as corrupt and untrustworthy, according to a new report prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Emily Birnbaum reports on thehill.com.

Researchers with the firm New Knowledge found that the Russian troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency (IRA) posted images and memes seeking to discredit Mueller as one method of sowing discord in the US, Birnbaum wrote.

Across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms, Russians sought to amplify negative messages about Mueller, Birnbaum noted.
