Attorney General William Barr says President Donald Trump did not exert executive privilege over any information included in special counsel Robert Mueller's report. 9News

In one extraordinary segment, Mueller's report details the moment Trump was told there would be an investigation. It says the president slumped in his chair and said: "Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I'm f-----."

Mueller also said there wasn't sufficient evidence to charge any campaign officials with working as an unregistered foreign agent of Russia. Trump said that his comment during a 2016 political rally asking Russian hackers to help find emails scrubbed from Clinton's private server was made "in jest and sarcastically" and that he did not recall being told during the campaign of any Russian effort to infiltrate or hack computer systems.The report said Mueller's team was dissatisfied with written responses from Trump, but decided against issuing a subpoena for an interview.

Shortly after the report's release, Trump said he was "having a good day" and that no president should ever again have to go through what he did. Before the release of the redacted full report, Attorney General William Barr revealed the White House counsel had reviewed the document and Trump had decided not to invoke executive privilege over any information.

No mention in here of the spying by Obama and Clinton! Hmmmm. A little one sided I would think. He was cleared and as reported throughout USA the AG Barr is now focusing on the democrats and how and why the campaign against Trump started. Let's see your report on that. Or not.

My fans everywhere around the world they need more friends . Haters need to go
