Although some information was redacted, we're finally able to read the final report from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Here are the highlights.

The secrecy around the final report from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has finally been lifted, at least most of it.Some information was redacted by the Justice Department, but much of the 448-page report became public on Thursday. Here’s what we’ve learned.

Mueller rebutted legal arguments asserted by Trump’s attorneys that a president’s exercise of executive power granted under the Constitution cannot constitute illegal obstruction. If done for “corrupt” reasons, Mueller concluded, otherwise legitimate presidential acts, such as pardoning people or ending investigations, can be reviewed. And Congress has the authority to do it.

At one point he wrote that he couldn’t remember specifics on any conversations with Roger Stone, a longtime political advisor, over a five-month period during the campaign.
