Donald Trump says he hasn't read the report investigating contacts between his presidential campaign and Russia, and that he only knows its conclusions
— Donald J. Trump Barr told lawmakers the investigation did not establish that members of Trump's election campaign conspired with Russia, but also did not exonerate the president on obstruction of justice.
Barr said he had concluded there was not enough evidence to show that Trump committed the crime of obstruction.But news media reports this week said members of Mueller's team were unhappy with the way Barr, a Trump appointee, had characterised the report's conclusions. Asked in an interview with Fox and Friends Weekend about calls for the release of the full confidential report, Trump said on Saturday:"It's really up to the attorney general, whatever he wants to do".Barr did not meet a demand by Democrats in the US House of Representatives to provide the unredacted report to lawmakers by April 2.
