The Mueller report on the Russia investigation says evidence obtained about Trump's 'actions and intent' makes it difficult to determine whether a crime occurred.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation did not conclude whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice after looking into numerous potential instances, in part because of issues in determining the president's intent.
In the absence of a conclusion by Mueller, the Justice Department determined that Trump did not obstruct justice. In explaining the decision, Attorney General William Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein considered not only whether the acts were"obstructive" but also the president's intent in taking those steps.
The detailed report goes through each of the actions Mueller investigated for potential obstruction, laying out the evidence and analyzing the president's possible intent. In many cases, the special counsel says the motives behind the president's actions are inconclusive.
One section of the report explains how evidence shows Trump thought the probe would hinder his ability to conduct foreign policy:
