Mueller's report clears Trump of Russian collusion but does not exonerate him

The Mueller report on Russia's interference in the US presidential elections in 2016 revealed that neither Donald Trump nor his badociates agreed with Russia. But Attorney General William Barr wrote that the report did not exonerate the US president. Meanwhile, the Democrats are asking Congress to see the full report.

After a nearly two-year investigation, special advocate Robert Mueller presented his report to US Attorney General William Barr last Friday. Barr issued a letter Sunday outlining the main findings of the report.

In his letter, Barr wrote that "The investigation of the special advocate has revealed no American personality nor any responsible for the Trump campaign having knowingly conspired or co-ordinated with Russia".

Regarding the obstruction of justice, Barr quotes Mueller in his report: "Although this report does not lead to the commission of a crime by the president, he does not exonerate him either."

He added that "the evidence developed during the investigation of the special advocate is not sufficient to establish whether the president committed an offense of obstruction of justice".

As a result, William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided not to prosecute.

In his letter, Barr wrote that he would publish "the maximum of the report", knowing that some of the elements contained in the report can not be made public.

Trump claims victory but skeptical democrats
President Donald Trump, who repeatedly described the investigation as a witch hunt, immediately tweeted "a complete and total exemption."

Addressing reporters from Mar-a-Lago in Florida, Trump said: "It's a shame that our country has had to go through this, to be honest, it's a shame that your president had to do it since even before being elected it started.It was an illegal catch that failed. "

Meanwhile, Democrats are not satisfied with Barr's letter. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said William Barr's letter "raises as many questions as answers".

Democratic leaders said the Congress needed "the full report and the underlying documents so that the commissions can continue their work independently".
