Special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s report concluded that no one from the campaign of now President Donald Trump nor the president himself colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election, according to a letter released Sunday by the Attorney General, William Barr.
“The Special Prosecutor’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or any of the people associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia their efforts to influence the US presidential election. of 2016, “Barr wrote in a letter sent to the judicial committees of the House and the Senate.
According to Barr, Mueller indicated that “although this report concludes that the president did not commit a crime, it does not exonerate him either.”
The document made public this Sunday leaves “unresolved if the actions and the intention of the president could be seen as an obstruction of justice”, according to Barr.
However, Barr argued that he and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, concluded that the evidence that Mueller had gathered “is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an offense of obstruction of justice.”
The publication of Mueller’s findings puts an end to a few days of speculation after the special prosecutor delivered the report to the Department of Justice on Friday.
After Mueller’s report was published by the prosecutor William P. Barr, which mentions that the two-year work by Robert Mueller lacked sufficient evidence to indicate that Donald Trump illegally obstructed justice, the US president has manifested about it.
Through his Twitter account he expressed to his 59.3 million followers: No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
The White House spokeswoman, Sarah Sanders also described this action as a “total and complete exoneration of the president.”
Neither Trump nor anyone in the White House had received Mueller’s report in advance and he has not been informed of its content either, explained presidential spokesman Hogan Gidley, who is accompanying him this weekend at his rest home in Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
