A majority, 56%, say President Trump and his campaign have not been exonerated of collusion based on Attorney General William Barr's summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to a CNN poll
WASHINGTON Though President Donald Trump has claimed"complete and total exoneration" based on Attorney General William Barr's summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, the American public disagrees, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.
A majority says the President and his campaign have not been exonerated of collusion, but that what they've heard or read about the report shows collusion could not be proven. Fewer, 43%, say Trump and his team have been exonerated of collusion.Although Mueller could not establish Trump or his campaign"conspired or coordinated with" the Russian government, according to Barr's letter, the poll finds the American people continue to view the issue through partisan lenses.
