Mueller found no Trump campaign collusion with Russia: Justice Dept

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump declared he had been completely exonerated on Sunday after his campaign was cleared of colluding with Russia in the 2016 election campaign.

"The special counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts," Barr wrote.On the other hand, Barr said Mueller declined to reach a decision on the evidence against the president of obstruction - almost guaranteeing that Democrats in Congress will push to investigate this further.

"AG Barr and DAG Rosenstein further determined there was no obstruction. The findings of the Department of Justice are a total and complete exoneration of the president of the United States."Barr's letter marked the conclusion of the disturbing investigation into allegations that Trump's election campaign coordinated and colluded with Russians to skew the 2016 vote so the billionaire real estate magnate would win.
