Mueller charged 11 of the intelligence officers, all members of Russia’s military intelligence agency the GRU, with conspiring to hack into into Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee networks.

The 12th officer was charged with conspiring to hack into election systems, including hacking into a state elections board website.

The indictment revealed previously unknown allegations surrounding the DNC hacking, which led to the release of private and internal DNC emails and documents ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Here are five things to know from the wide-ranging allegations:

Mueller says Guccifer 2.0 was Russian officers

Mueller states in the indictment that the infamous DNC hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 was an online persona created by the Russian officers to disperse documents stolen in the hack.

Guccifer 2.0, who had been in contact with The Hill ahead of the 2016 election and released internal DNC documents, had claimed to be a Romanian hacker with no political ties.

However, tools used in Guccifer 2.0’s breach had matched those used by Russian intelligence agencies.

The indictment also alleged that the Russians created the site DCLeaks, which also posted stolen documents.

Former informal Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone said Friday night that he’s “probably” the unnamed person referred to in the indictment as having been in contact with the Trump campaign and received messages from Guccifer 2.0.

Stone had initially disputed that he was the person in the indictment, despite the document matching messages that he had exchanged with Guccifer 2.0. Stone released the messages last year.

Stone told The Hill Friday that his messages with Guccifer 2.0 are "benign based on its content, context and timing."

“This exchange is entirely public and provides no evidence of collaboration or collusion with Guccifer 2.0 or anyone else in the alleged hacking of the DNC emails, as well as taking place many weeks after the events described in today’s indictment,” he said.

Russians allegedly tried to hack Clinton after Trump asked them to

The indictment states that ”on or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton's personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign."

Trump gave a press conference that same day in which he called for Russia to find the emails that Clinton had deleted from her private server.

"They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted. You'd see some beauties, so we'll see," the then-candidate said.

"Russia, if you are listening, I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by the press."

The revelation led to widespread backlash from Democrats, who claimed Trump was encouraging the hacks.

Congressional candidate allegedly asked Russians for dirt on opponent

The indictment also includes the bombshell claim that an unnamed “candidate for the U.S. Congress” had contacted Guccifer 2.0 and requested information on their opponent that was stolen from the DNC.

"The conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate's opponent," the document reads.

It's not stated in the filing if the candidate won their election and is currently serving in Congress, or to which party they belong.

However, if the candidate is revealed, it will likely lead to massive backlash.

Mueller has filed nearly 200 charges in probe

Mueller’s latest indictment has boosted his tally of total charges filed in the probe to 191 — likely giving Democrats ammunition to push back against claims of the investigation being a “witch hunt.”

Thirty-two people have now been charged since the special counsel was appointed last year.
