The Kremlin’s party: The Senate Intelligence Committee said in a longawaited bipartisan report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that Kremlin-directed operatives opened a celebratory bottle of champagne after President Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. “We uncorked a tiny bottle of champagne...took one gulp each and looked into each other’s eyes.... We uttered almost in unison: ‘We made America great,’” said one operative at the St. Petersburg–based Internet Research Agency, or IRA, in a message included in the report by the Republican-led committee. The report—two years in the making—echoed the conclusions of America’s intelligence agencies, as well as those of special counsel Robert Mueller, in finding the IRA “was overtly and almost invariably supportive” of Trump to the “detriment of Secretary Clinton’s campaign.” It also called on Trump to “publicly reinforce the danger of attempted foreign interference in the 2020 election.”
