Attorney General William Barr on Sunday released the “principal conclusions” of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s completed Russia investigation in a bombshell four-page letter to Capitol Hill lawmakers, which stated definitively that Mueller could not establish any evidence that President Trump’s campaign team or any of his associates had conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 election — “despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.”

Trump who has tweeted over 235 times that he did not collude with Russians amid numerous allegations from media and political figures, the moment amounted to a near-total vindication. Although Mueller noted that his report did not “exonerate” the president on obstruction, AG Barr wrote, the “report does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the Special Counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public.”

Trump wrote on Twitter Sunday afternoon. “No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION, KEEP AMERICA GREAT!”

Later, he told reporters, “It was just announced there was no collusion with Russia, the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. There was no collusion with Russia, there was no obstruction. … It’s a shame that our country had to go through this, to be honest, it’s a shame that your president has ad to go through this — since before I even got elected, it began. And it began illegally. Hopefully someone is going to look at the other side. This as an illegal takedown that failed.”
