This is a good a chance as any to highlight something that's always kind of mystified me about the Mueller report: Trump appears to have pretty clearly lied in at least one of his responses, and there generally hasn't been much discussion about it
I'm speaking of this question: "Did *any person or entity* inform you during the campaign that Vladimir Putin or the Russian government supported your candidacy or opposed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton?" (emphasis mine) 
Now before we get to Trump's response, let's all take a moment to refresh ourselves on just how well known it was, to Trump in particular, that Russia was assisting his campaign.
It was widely reported that Russia was engaged in hacking and disinformation during the campaign that favored Trump, and we know Trump was generally aware of it because....he tweeted about it
He also made statements like this
And there was also the "not a puppet" exchange during one of the debates that was about Russia's support for Trump
And DHS put out a statement a month before the election about Russia's role in the email hacks dhs.gov/news/2016/10/0…
Despite all of this evidence that Trump had been told by the press, by the U.S. government, and by his opponent live on the debate stage that Putin and the Russian government supported his campaign, this was his full response to Mueller
