TRUMP: 'As I have been saying all along, NO COLLUSION - NO OBSTRUCTION!' — tweet Thursday. THE FACTS: No. The special counsel specifically leaves open the question of whether the president obstructed justice.
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump and his attorney general are distorting the facts when it comes to special counsel Robert Mueller's report in the Russia investigation.
In his four-page memo last month, Barr said while Mueller left open the question of whether Trump broke the law and obstructed the investigation, he was ultimately deciding as attorney general that the evidence developed by Mueller was"not sufficient" to establish, for the purposes of prosecution, that Trump obstructed justice.
KELLYANNE CONWAY, White House counselor:"What matters is what the Department of Justice and special counsel concluded here, which is no collusion, no obstruction, and complete exoneration, as the president says." The report identifies 10 instances of possible obstruction by Trump and said he might have"had a motive" to impede the investigation because of what it could find on a multitude of personal matters, such as his proposal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
"Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him," the report states.THE FACTS: He's not going out on a limb for public disclosure.
