Trump is a big fan of the Mueller report, which he still hasn't seen and which 'does not exonerate' him on obstruction of justice allegations by hunterw
“The Mueller report was great. It could not have been better. It said, ‘No obstruction. No collusion.’ It could not have been better,” Trump said.
About two hours after Trump made his comments about the Mueller report, Department of Justice spokesperson Kerri Kupec said the president had not seen the document. According to Kupec, Barr has not provided a copy of Mueller’s full report to the White House. The White House did not respond to requests for comment on this story.
“They and others created a fraud on our country with this ridiculous witch hunt, where it was proven, very strongly, no collusion, no obstruction. No nothing,” Trump said.Trump’s comments at the Capitol were part of an ongoing victory lap by the president and his allies who have argued Barr’s letter shows Trump engaged in no wrongdoing during the election.
“While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” Mueller wrote. Barr also quoted a single line from Mueller’s original report that said, ““[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
