The report, which the intelligence community highly redacted and spans 253 pages, shows the Russians tried to influence the election through propaganda campaigns and details similar efforts in Europe. It lists dozens of findings on a number of relevant issues and shows in January 2017 Obama intelligence officials used the infamous Russian dossier as a way to attack President Trump in the press. That dossier was paid for by the DNC and the Clinton campaign in 2016 and compiled by British spy Christopher Steele.
“Former DNI James Clapper, now a CNN national security analyst, acknowledged discussing the dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic,” the report states.
