House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said Sunday that the "clock has finally struck midnight on the 'Russian collusion' fantasy."

"After 22 months of a special counsel and 2 years of congressional investigations, it’s over. The clock has finally struck midnight on the ‘Russian collusion’ fantasy. No collusion," he wrote on Twitter, referring to allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.

Meadows's remark comes in response to Attorney General William Barr saying in a letter to Congress that special counsel Robert Mueller did not find evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Mueller, who investigated Russian interference in the election and possible obstruction of justice on the part of Trump, on Friday submitted his final report to Barr.

Barr shared a summary of Mueller's main findings in a letter to Congress on Sunday. In the letter, Barr wrote that the special counsel probe "did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

On the issue of obstruction, Barr said in the letter that Mueller did not determine whether Trump committed a crime.
