After taking the weekend to pore over the Mueller report,
Attorney General William Barr has sent Congress his summary of the
"principal conclusions" from the special counsel's 675-day
investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
The bottom line: "[T]he
investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or
coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference
activities." On the question of obstruction of justice, Barr writes that
while Mueller's report "does not conclude that the President committed a
crime, it also does not exonerate him."
UPDATE:
Evidence gathered in special counsel Robert Mueller’s
investigation “is not sufficient to establish” that President Donald Trump
committed obstruction of justice.
That’s according to Attorney General William Barr in a
letter to Congress summarizing the finding of the Mueller probe.
Barr says Mueller did not reach any conclusions in
evaluating the president’s conduct, leaving it to the Justice Department.
Barr says he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
reached the conclusion without considering constitutional questions regarding
bringing criminal charges against a sitting president.
