Trump tweeted "total EXONERATION" shortly after the summary was released, despite Barr's letter saying the report does not exonerate him on obstruction. "It's a shame that our country had to go through this and a shame the president had to go through this," he said.It's sure to be only the beginning of months of fighting in Congress - and perhaps in the courts - over how much should be disclosed from Mueller's report.
Justice Department officials, who described Mueller's report as comprehensive, said he didn't recommend any additional indictments and doesn't have any secret indictments under seal. In the letter on Friday to leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Barr said, "I remain committed to as much transparency as possible, and I will keep you informed as to the status of my review".
