Now that a grand jury was convinced by bob mueller and his investigators who presented this evidence to them, and to which they responded with todays indictments. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein took to the d. O. J. Podium and announced the charges. The defendants allegedly conducted what they called Information Warfare against the United States, with the stated goal of spreading distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general. They used stolen or fictitious american identities, Fraudulent Bank accounts, and false identification documents. The defendants posed as political and socially active americans advocating for particular candidates. They established social media pages and groups to communicate with unwitting americans.

Restaurant, and the driver of the van is also dead as police say he committed suicide after the crash. We are joined by ted or the in chief of the german newspaper built. And what do the German Police know about the man who did this, and is there any explanation as to why . There is no explanation as to why yet. And in fact, the very inconclusive picture that we are talking about a middleaged man here, 48, 49 years old, german dissen descent and no psychological record there, but nothing confirmed, there and no person who has ever committed any crime or any offense of talking to the neighbors and the surroundings are that we have learned that there is nothing special about him.
