[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
I was mostly interested in "in its election interference activities.
Did the investigation establish if anyone conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in "any other activities"??

Toss in an oligarch or intermediator and that sentence might be true.

With a substantive and a verb. Most everything else is a prepositional phrase and object of the preposition.

That the blocks around the capital [T] indicated it was part of a larger sentence?
