/ Multiple media outlets have been engaged in the so-called "Russiagate" case for over three years, claiming that Trump was collaborating with Russia to win the 2016 election. In April 2019, Special Counsel Robert Mueller published a report which found insufficient evidence of collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign in 2016, however, multiple journalists and politicians ignored the outcome, accusing Moscow of interfering in the American voting process, and calling Trump "a Russian agent".
