Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was planning for the release of Hillary Clinton's emails long before they emerged, according to special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
Mueller's redacted report, which was handed over to Congress and made public Thursday, shows how members of Trump's team had communication with WikiLeaks.
Both former Trump campaign official Rick Gates and his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen told Mueller said they spoke with the presidential candidate about WikiLeaks.
Gates said: 'By the late summer of 2016, the Trump Campaign was planning a press strategy, a communications campaign, Proxies Cheap (proxiescheap.com) and messaging based on the possible release of Clinton emails by WikiLeaks.'
He also said Trump told him 'more releases of damaging information would be coming' but it is not known when this conversation is said to have taken place.
Jailed campaign chairman Paul Manafort is said to have 'expressed excitement' about WikiLeaks.
The content of Trump's chats with Cohen on WikiLeaks was redacted, as are many of the report's details on how the Trump campaign dealt with the site due to an 'ongoing matter', thought to be the prosecution of Roger Stone.
The president, in a written response to Mueller, said he 'did not recall being aware' of communication with WikiLeaks but added he 'was aware that WikiLeaks was the subject of media reporting and campaign-related discussion at the time'.
He claimed to 'nothing about Wikileaks' after founder Julian Assange's arrest.
'I know nothing about Wikileaks. It's not my thing. And I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange. I've been seeing what's happened with Assange,' he said in the Oval Office. 'So he'll be making a determination. I know nothing really about him. It's not my, it's not my deal in life.'

Trump said on numerous occasions in the fall of 2016 that he has great admiration for Wikileaks, which published embarrassing emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman's account.
'Wikileaks, I love Wikileaks,' he said at one point. 'This Wikileaks is like a treasure trove,' he said at another campaign stop.
And Mueller's report also shows evidence of direct messages on Twitter between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks before the election.
WikiLeaks even messaged Trump Jr. that it was 'great to see you and your dad talking about our publications' in October 2016.
And after years' worth of emails from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta made their way to WikiLeaks the report notes they were released the same say as the infamous Access Hollywood 'grab them by the p***y' tape dropped.
It concludes Podesta hacked emails, as well as those from the Democratic National Committee, were transmitted from a Russian-government proxy to WikiLeaks in July 2016.
The report adds 'the release of the documents was designed and timed to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election and undermine the Clinton Campaign'.
Wikileaks denies receiving hacked emails from entities tied to the Russian government.
During his 2016 campaign, Trump sought to obtain Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails. Flynn told Special Counsel Robert Mueller that he took on this initiative by directing associates to go forward with that effort
Trump also repeatedly tried to obtain Clinton's 'lost' emails leading up to his election, an initiative former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn said he tried to carry out on the president's behalf several times.
The report showed that then-candidate Trump asked those affiliated with his campaign to find the 30,000 deleted emails.
'Michael Flynn… recalled that Trump made this request repeatedly, and Flynn subsequently contacted multiple people in an effort to obtain the emails. Barbara Ledeen and Peter Smith were among the people contacted by Flynn,' Mueller's report reads.
Ledeen is a Senate staffer and associate of Flynn, and Smith is an investment banker active in Republican politics. Ledeen has previously tried to obtain the emails before Flynn directed her to do so.
Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying about his conversations with Russians about sanctions and to lying about his lobbying for Turkey. He agreed to cooperate with the special counsel.
In September 2016, Smith directed a business associated to establish KLS Research LLC, a research firm that would be used to raise money and assist in his search for Clinton's deleted emails.
The two associates Flynn directed to obtain the emails were Barbara Ledeen (pictured above), a Senate staffer, and Peter Smith, an investment banker who established a research firm to raise money and advance the efforts of finding the emails
