Many people around the United States are wondering what will happen next, now that a report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has been completed. Special Counsel Robert Muller gave the report to U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Friday. Barr, who was appointed by President Donald Trump and approved by Congress last February, then released his outline of the report’s main findings on Sunday. In his summary, Barr said, “The report does not recommend any further indictments.” Barr also wrote that the special counsel’s office made no secret charges that have yet to be made public. His office continues to study the report to see how much of it can be released to the public. The report, Barr said, was divided into two parts. The first part looked at Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. It found that a number of Russian nationals and organizations used the internet to spread disinformation and to incite social conflict. It also found that Russian government actors hacked into computers in the U.S. to gather or spread information to influence the election.
