A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.

The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.

[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

  On Friday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order in United States v. Flynn that reveals that a motion to withdraw the guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely.

  You'll never get what you want. Trump is still your president. All you can manage to do is to cause division, which is exactly what the Russians want.
