President Trump’s campaign did not conspire with Russia during the 2016 election, according to a summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report submitted to Congress on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The report summary did not draw a conclusion as to whether Mr Trump illegally obstructed justice – not exonerating the president.<\/p>\n
The report was summarised for Congress by the attorney general, William Barr. President Trump tweeted in response: “No Collusion, No Obstruction.”<\/p>\n
Mr Trump, who repeatedly described the inquiry as a witch hunt, said on Sunday that “it was a shame that the country had to go through this”, describing the inquiry as an “illegal takedown that failed”.<\/p>\n
The report is the culmination of two years of investigation by Mr Mueller which saw some of the president’s closest former aides prosecuted and, in some cases, imprisoned.<\/p>\n
“While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” Mr Mueller wrote in his report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
