Special Counsel Robert Mueller is still investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In the latest development, according to CNN, Russians posed as Black Lives Matter activists on Tumblr to promote a Pokémon Go competition in July 2016 with the goal to increase division in the U.S. Reporter Dylan Byers explained: "If you went to locations where there had been alleged incidents of police brutality, and you named your Pokémon after those victims [...] if you won that competition, this promotion suggested, you might win a free Amazon Prime card." CNN said by promoting the event, the Russians may have been attempting to "upset or anger" people living in areas where police killings had occurred.
