WASHINGTON: Special counsel Robert Mueller did not find evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign “conspired” with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller’s report does not clearly state whether Trump had tried to intervene in justice by undermining investigations that have dogged his presidency.
Even though the report brought a hearty claim of vindication from Trump but set the stage for new rounds of political and legal fighting, said Attorney General William Barr Sunday.
Trump cheered the outcome but also laid bare his resentment after two years of investigations that have shadowed his administration.
However, his Democratic opponents are dissatisfied with the outcome of the long-awaited report and vowed to keep up their political assault against him.
Meanwhile, many of Trump’s opponents had accused the president of obstructing the Russia probe when he fired former FBI Director James Comey in 2017.
