A large group of motorcyclists is said to be headed toward the US capitol of Washington DC with the intention of confronting US Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Monday.
A group calling themselves the Deplorable Bikers — begun as an anti-Obama group just before the former US President’s second term and transformed into a pro-Trump cabal during the latter’s 2016 election campaign — tweeted that many of its adherents are headed to Washington DC to confront Mueller regarding his federally-mandated investigation into alleged collusion between the Kremlin and Trump’s campaign.

Responding to accusations of collusion, Moscow has repeatedly denied interfering, calling the claims « absurd. » As for the US president, he has denied colluding with the Kremlin, and has repeatedly called the federal justice department investigation a « witch hunt. »
An absence of collusion was established by a Republican-led House Intelligence Committee « Report on Russian Active Measure » report released last week.
The committee did allege, however, that Moscow attempted to sow division in the US by carrying out cyberattacks and seeking to influence social media users.
