A major investigation1 has ended within the U.S. government. It was called the Russia investigation, the special counsel investigation or the Mueller investigation, because it was led by Robert Mueller, a former director of the FBI who was put in charge of it 22 months ago. His team looked into alleged2 Russian interference with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And part of that was examining whether Donald Trump4's campaign illegally coordinated5 with Russia.
Mueller sent his full report to the Justice Department on Friday night. And that department sent a four-page summary of it to Congress on Sunday afternoon. It said that while Russia did try to influence the 2016 election, something Russia has repeatedly denied, the U.S. special counsel's investigation, quote, "did not find that the Trump Campaign or anyone associated with it conspired6 or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the election." Another part of the investigation l?ooked into concerns about possible obstruction7 of justice.
Did President Trump's actions intentionally8 and illegally interfere3 with the government carrying out its work? The special counsel says, quote, "while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate9 him." The Justice Department says the Mueller report left it up to the U.S. Attorney General to decide whether the president's conduct constituted a crime. And the U.S. Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General both concluded that the report's evidence i?s, quote, "not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense10."
The White House called the report a total and complete exoneration11, a clearance12 of any wrongdoing for President Trump. But some Democrats13 say Special Counsel Mueller did not exonerate the president and that the Justice Department's summary isn't enough. They want to see the full report in the days ahead.
