All Primary Sources[edit]

Elsewhere on Wikipedia this level of evidence is recognized as conspiracy theory. It is almost all primary sources and since the Mueller Report this article has been shown to be a collection of published rumors and legal contacts.64.31.13.163 (talk) 08:13, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mueller's report[edit]

As is, this entry paints the picture that the Mueller investigation exonerated the President when in fact, it laid out instances of Obstruction of Justice that it was not authorized to prosecute.

Therefore the section on that subject needs to elaborate on the conclusions of the report and link to best available source for report (least redacted.) 2605:59C8:70A7:8410:242F:316A:F2C8:9330 (talk) 17:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If true, your concern is legitimate. Please point out the exact words that are problematic so we know where to begin. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:05, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More books[edit]

I noticed the Seth Hettena book is listed. I don't know how to add links, but these two other books should also be presented if someone could please add them.

American Kompromat” by Craig Unger "House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia" by Craig Unger 2601:18C:8200:B0C0:94E:245F:6ACC:13E5 (talk) 19:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kilimnik linked to Russian intel[edit]

The last paragraph of the section for Paul Manafort includes the statement: “Manafort met with Konstantin Kilimnik, who is believed to be linked to Russian intelligence”.

In fact, Kilimnik’s link to Russian intelligence has been firmly established. It was revealed in April 2021 by the U.S. Department of the Treasury that Kilimnik is a “known Russian Intelligence Services agent”. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0126

This information was also reported by the New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/15/us/politics/russian-intelligence-trump-campaign.html

The sentence I quoted above should be edited to reflect this. 100.11.96.78 (talk) 02:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
