THE QUICK FACTS

• The bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee released its final report on Russian election interference on Tuesday, August 18th.
• The document, which approaches 1,000 pages, was based on interviews with 200 witnesses and an examination of more than 1 million documents.
• Much of the report focuses on Paul Manafort's relationship with Russian intelligence officer, Konstantin Kilimnik. The report states, "Manafort’s high level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services… represented a grave counterintelligence threat.”
• The Committee also “found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president.”
