Mueller Report Says Trump Cleared of Conspiring With Russia

By Staff, Agencies

US President Donald Trump's campaign did not conspire with Russia during the 2016 election, the summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report said.

The allegation clouded the first two years of Trump's presidency and his allies see the report's finding as a boost to his re-election chances.

But Attorney General William Barr's summary is inconclusive as to whether Trump obstructed justice.

Opposition Democrats, however, are demanding full access to Mueller's report.

Former FBI chief James Comey, whose sacking in 2017 led to accusations that Trump was trying to obstruct investigations into allegations of collusion with Russia, tweeted a photo of woods with the words "So many questions".

 Having repeatedly described the inquiry as a witch hunt, Trump said it was an "illegal takedown that failed".

Despite the inconclusiveness of the report regarding his alleged obstruction of justice, the president said it constituted "complete and total exoneration".
