The Mueller investigation

A summary of U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 22-month probe into Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. election concludes that it did not find any evidence that Donald Trump or his associates broke the law

Key findings

No collusion: Mueller’s report states “investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities”

No obstruction of Justice: Evidence is “not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction-of-justice offence”
“While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not
exonerate him”
