3 min ago 4 things we learned from the attorney general's Mueller report summary
From CNN's Katelyn Polantz and Jeremy Herb
Attorney General William Barr released his summary of the main conclusions from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation yesterday.
Here are some of the top takeaways:
On collusion: Barr wrote that no Trump associate conspired or coordinated "despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign." On obstruction: The Justice Department decided not to prosecute the President for obstructing justice with his behavior — both public and in private — but Trump isn't fully cleared. He will still likely face a hailstorm of political criticism for his actions after taking office when more of Mueller's investigation is revealed. On interviewing Trump: Barr's letter suggests Mueller never needed to interview the President. What happens next: Parts of Mueller's original report could still become public, Barr said on Sunday, and the attorney general promised Congress he'd work "expeditiously" and is working with Mueller "as quickly as possible" on a public release.
