REVEALED: Mueller rejected charging Donald Trump Jr. and Roger Stone with computer crimes

Published February 11, 2022 9:44pm ET



A smattering of black-out sections in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report detailing his Russia investigation were revealed to the public for the first time on Friday.

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by BuzzFeed News, newly unredacted sections show Mueller declined to charge Donald Trump Jr. with a misdemeanor “computer intrusion” crime for accessing a website, putintrump.org, using a password he obtained from WikiLeaks without authorization in September 2016 weeks before his father, Donald Trump, was elected president. Previously disclosed portions of the report said Mueller’s team determined prosecution was not warranted in this matter but did not reveal specifics about Trump Jr. accessing a third-party website.
