Mueller finds no proof of Trump collusion with Russia; AG Barr says evidence 'not sufficient' to prosecute
"(W)hile this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him," the special counsel said in his report.
Special counsel Robert Mueller found no proof that President Donald Trump criminally colluded with Russia and reached no conclusion about whether Trump obstructed justice, Attorney General William Barr told Congress on Sunday, while also announcing that he found insufficient evidence to pursue the matter further.
The bombshell findings were contained in a letter that Barr sent to lawmakers summarizing Mueller's report and that was made public.
Barr quoted Mueller's report, which he said stated: "(T)he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
The report makes it clear that Trump was not exonerated in his behavior, but simply found insufficient criminal evidence to prosecute.
On obstruction of justice, Barr wrote that the special counsel declined "to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment," leaving it up to the attorney general to choose whether to bring obstruction charges against the president. Barr declined to do so, he said in the letter to Congress, based on the evidence presented and Department of Justice guidelines around prosecuting a sitting president.
