Gabbard also said that while she “strongly supported” Mueller being allowed to complete the probe, “[n]ow that Mueller has found no collusion took place, we need to set aside our partisan interests and recognize that finding the president of the United States not guilty of conspiring with a foreign power to interfere with our elections is a good thing for America.”

Barr told Congress Mueller's team did not find that there was collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, but could not "exonerate" on obstruction of justice.
