Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says President Donald Trump was right about the Russia investigation.
McConnell says Attorney General William Barr's summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation confirms Trump's account that there was "no effort" by his campaign "to conspire or coordinate with Russia" to influence the 2016 election.
The Republican leader said he appreciates Barr's goal of "producing as much information as possible" from Mueller's investigation. But McConnell declined to call for the report's full release, as many Democrats want.
McConnell also warned Russia's ongoing efforts to interfere in U.S. institutions "are dangerous and disturbing."
