Mueller specifically did not exonerate President Donald Trump, according to Trump's Attorney General William Barr.
President Donald Trump claimed"complete and total exoneration" on Sunday after Attorney General William Barr released a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his Russia investigation.
Barr writes that Mueller did not conclude whether Trump obstructed justice. The attorney general noted, though, that he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein"have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense."
That distinction has already emerged as one of the biggest points of contention over Barr's summary. Democrats have questioned how the attorney general arrived at that conclusion. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., has already said he wants to bring Barr in to testify. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also disputed Trump's notion claim that the report vindicated him.
