The United States President Donald J. Trump and the White House have welcomed the crucial discoveries from a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election, tagging them as an exoneration of the president.
President Trump said it was a complete and total exoneration.
Mr. Trump also said, it was a shame that the country had to go through this, telling the inquiry as an illegal takedown that failed.
White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders also described Special Council Mueller’s findings as a total and complete exoneration of the President.
On March 24, US Attorney General William Barr sent a four-page letter to Congress highlighting the special counsel’s findings.
Barr said that on the question of Russian interference in the 2016 election, Mueller “did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election”.
The special counsel investigation began eight days after President Trump dismissed FBI director James Comey, who was leading existing FBI investigations since July 2016 into links between Trump associates and Russian officials.
