Join us for a panel discussion with leading journalists, publishers and scholars on the ongoing investigations of President Donald Trump’s connections with Russia. The panel will discuss the role of the mainstream media, social media, Congress, law enforcement, and the "deep state" in pursuing this investigation; alternative explanations for the observed level of collaboration between Putin+Trump team members; legal, professional, and other risks that journalists, publishers, academic researchers, lawyers, and law enforcement officials should be aware of in pursuing such topics. The panelists will also respond to President Trump’s treatment of the media.
The panelists will share their first-hand experience reporting and investigating the Trump-Russia connection and the strategies deployed for social networks, web security, independent journalism and publishing. Though Trump-Russia connections is its focus, this panel discussion will offer important strategies for other investigative reporting.
