Conclusion regarding the conspiracy with Russia was clear:
‘The special prosecutor’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or someone who was associated with it, conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the US presidential elections in 2016’.
But whether or not Trump has illegally attempted obstruction of the investigation, according to the report unclear.
‘The special prosecutor went not, therefore, a conclusion – one way or the other – whether the examined behavior constituted obstruction in the constitutional sense’, writes Barr, who adds that the ministry of justice does not find grounds to indict the president on this issue.

– the minister of Justice Barrs letter raises more questions than it answers. Because of Barrs previous bias against the special prosecutor’s investigation, he is not a neutral observer, and he can not objectively assess the report’, slices topdemokraterne Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi in a joint statement.
the Democrats believe that the whole of the report and its underlying texts to be released.
attorney general William Barr has issued a summary of four pages. It is not enough, consider the Democrats, who requires the entire report published. Photo: Reuters
