President Donald Trump sent out a tweet claiming "total exoneration" Sunday immediately after Attorney General William Barr sent a letter to Congress saying special counsel Robert Mueller did not uncover evidence the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
"No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!," the president wrote.
Quoting the official Mueller report, Barr wrote to Congress that "The special counsel did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
On the topic of potential obstruction of justice on the part of Trump, Mueller referred the question of criminality to the attorney general.
"While this report does not conclude the president committed a crime, it does not exonerate him," Barr wrote, quoting the report.
