A timeline emerges as Mueller homes in on what — and how much — Trump knew about WikiLeaks and the DNC hacks

Special counsel Robert Mueller is probing what, and how much, President Donald Trump knew about the Russian government-backed effort to hack the Democratic National Committee, and the subsequent release of stolen emails at the height of the 2016 campaign.
Mueller is also looking into Trump’s relationship with Roger Stone, a longtime Republican strategist who was in touch with WikiLeaks, its founder Julian Assange, and the Russian hacker Guccifer 2.0 during the election.
The revelations indicate Mueller is zeroing in on what appears to be a growing timeline of Trump associates’ communications with Russia-linked actors during the final months of the campaign.
