The memos describe several purported meetings during the 2016 presidential campaign between Trump representatives and Russian officials to discuss matters of mutual interest, including the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Mrs. Clintons campaign chairman, John D. Podesta.
If some of the unproven claims in the memos are merely titillating, others would amount to extremely serious, potentially treasonous acts.
One of the opposition research memos quotes an unidentified Russian source as claiming that the hacking and leaking of Democratic emails was carried out with the full knowledge and support of TRUMP and senior members of his campaign team. In return, the memo said, the TRUMP team had agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue because Mr. Putin needed to cauterize the subject.
