Robert S. Mueller III's investigation into President Donald Trump's potential collusion with Russia stands as a pivotal political inquiry. This comprehensive volume includes the full 300+ pages of the historic report, an introduction by constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz, relevant legal provisions from Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Rod Rosenstein's appointment order for Mueller, and Attorney General William Barr's four-page summary. Mueller, a lifelong Republican, concluded his investigation without finding evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, while leaving the question of obstruction of justice unresolved. This has sparked significant debate, given Barr's brief summary compared to the extensive report. Since its inception in May 2017, the investigation has been central to American politics, with Democrats in the House eyeing the report for potential impeachment proceedings.
