Attorney General Barr: 'The evidence developed by the special counsel is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense' via ReutersTV
Mueller cited “some evidence” suggesting Trump knew about former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s controversial calls with the Russian ambassador before Trump took office, but evidence was “inconclusive” and could not be used to establish intent to obstruct.
Before the report’s release, Barr gave a news conference at the Justice Department as he sought to shape the narrative on the document’s findings. “President Trump faced an unprecedented situation. As he entered into office and sought to perform his responsibilities as president, federal agents and prosecutors were scrutinizing his conduct before and after taking office and the conduct of some of his associates,” Barr said.
