The roughly 400 page report summarizes Special Counsel Robert Muellers nearly two year investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election

The final Mueller report is now in the hands of Congress and the public. 

The roughly 400 page report summarizes Special Counsel Robert Mueller's nearly two year investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

During a news conference on Thursday, Attorney General Bill Barr echoed President Trump's longstanding claim of no collusion and no obstruction.  

The report states that if investigators had confidence that Trump clearly did not commit obstruction of Justice, they would have said that. However, the report does not exonerate Trump on obstruction and says a decision was made not to file charges because many of the President's efforts were in plain view.

Meanwhile, President Trump is calling it a good day after release of the report.

Speaking at the White House, Trump again called it a hoax and argued that no president should ever have to go through what he has gone through.
