Memorandum
To: Television Producers From: Tim Murtaugh Director of Communications, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. Date: March 25, 2019 Regarding: Credibility of Certain Guests As you know, Special Counsel Robert Mueller
’
s report found that no one associated with President Donald J. Trump
’
s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia, despite repeated offers from Russia-linked operatives. The Special Counsel also made no r ecommendation on obstruction, which is a decision in itself. Using the information provided by Mueller, the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General determined that there was no obstruction. This is all the r esult of the Special Counsel
’
s 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants, 500 witness interviews, 40 FBI agents, 19 lawyers, and $25 million in taxpayer funds. The only way to interpret these conclusions is as a total and complete vindication of President Trump. The issuance of these definitive findings comes a fter two years of Democrat leaders and others lying to the American people by vigorously and repeatedly claiming there was evidence of collusion. They made many of these false claims, without evidence, on your airwaves. The list of guests who made outlandish, false claims in cludes, but is not limited to:
