Mueller Report Summary Released To Congress
Special Counsel did not find that Trump's campaign or anyone associated with it conspired with Russia.
Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided the evidence was “not sufficient” to support a prosecution of the President for obstruction of justice.
“While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” Barr quotes special counsel Robert Mueller as saying.
Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the evidence gathered in the special counsel’s investigation was “not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense,” Barr wrote.
Special counsel did not find Trump campaign or associates conspired with Russia
A letter about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was sent to Congress today and concluded that Mueller did not find the Trump campaign or his associates conspired with Russia.
