Before reading the article:

On March 22, the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, submitted his report to the Justice Department, ending a 22-month investigation into Russian efforts to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

Two days later, Attorney General William P. Barr sent Congress a four-page summary of Mr. Mueller’s findings and then released them publicly. According to Mr. Barr’s summary, the investigation found no evidence that President Trump or any of his aides coordinated with the Russian government’s 2016 election interference.

On Thursday, Mr. Barr released the full report — with some redactions.
