On October 14, 2019, Special Counsel Robert Mueller handed over his report to the US Congress, marking the culmination of months of intense investigations and indictments of President Donald Trump's former allies.
According to a summary of the report, Mueller's investigation did not find any evidence that Trump's campaign or its associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
Attorney General William P. Barr's four-page summary of the report states: 'The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.'
However, the report does not provide a clear answer on whether President Trump obstructed justice during the investigation.
As Barr's letter to lawmakers notes, 'The Special Counsel. . . did not draw a conclusion — one way or the other — as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction.'
The report also does not recommend any further indictments and notes that Mueller's team did not obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public.
