"FINDINGS (U)
The Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Parts of this effort are outlined in the Committee's earlier volumes on election security, social media, the Obama Administration's response to the threat, and the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
(U) The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide
range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election. In this volume
the Committee lays out its findings in detail by looking at many aspects of the
counterintelligence threat posed by the Russian influence operation. For example, the
Committee examined Paul Manafort' s connections to Russian influence actors and the FBI' s
treatment of reporting produced by Christopher Steele. While the Committee does not describe
the final result as a complete picture, this volume provides the most comprehensive description
to date of Russia's activities and the threat they posed. This volume presents this information in
topical sections in order to address coherently and in detail the wide variety of Russian actions.
The events explained in these sections in many cases overlap, and references in each section will
direct the reader to those overlapping.."
