Mueller’s 22-month investigation ended with a finding that no one in Trump’s campaign “conspired or co-ordinated with the Russian government”, according to Barr’s four-page summary of Mueller’s confidential report. Many of Trump’s opponents had accused the president of obstructing the Russia probe when he fired former FBI director James Comey in 2017.
Democrats, however, said they wanted to see Mueller’s report for themselves as they launch congressional investigations of their own into the 2016 election and Trump’s business and financial dealings. The closure of the special counsel’s probe gives Trump a boost but it does not mark the end of his legal woes.
