Attorney General William Barr says Mueller found no proof of Trump collusion with Russia. Read his four-page letter letter 👇
Robert Mueller’s nearly two-year-long investigation concluded without finding adequate evidence to show that officials with Donald Trump’s presidential 2016 campaign aided Russian attempts to interfere with the election.
“The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,’” Barr added. During the 2016 campaign, Trump publicly called on Russia to try to find missing emails of his opponent, Hillary Clinton. However, Mueller’s report apparently excluded that sort of exhortation, limiting its definition of coordination to a “tacit or express” agreement between the campaign and the Russian government.
Transmission of the politically pivotal findings is expected to come via a letter to leaders of the Senate and House Judiciary committees. With congressional offices closed for the weekend, however, plans call for the hotly anticipated summary to be sent via email rather than through the hand-delivery approach that a small team of Justice Department officials carried out with Barr’s first letter on Friday.
