Mueller’s Report On Russia And Trump Is More Than 300 Pages Long
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to Attorney General William Barr about the conclusions of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is over 300 pages long, a Justice Department official said on Thursday.
The size of the report, which was delivered to Barr last Friday, suggests Mueller provided substantial evidence to back up his conclusions, raising new questions about how much of that evidence the public will see.
Barr released a four-page summary on the report on Sunday, sparking Democrats on the Hill to demand the Mueller’s full findings by April 2.
The Justice Department has said it will release a version of the Mueller report in “weeks not months,” but sensitive information contained in the original report will not be included.
Mueller concluded that despite multiple Russian efforts to interfere, neither President Donald Trump nor anyone in his campaign cooperated with the Russian government to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. He did not, however, make a decision on whether Trump’s behavior during the investigation should be charged as an obstruction of justice.
Barr took it upon himself to decide that the president had not obstructed justice and indicated in his letter to Congress that the Justice Department would not be pursuing charges.
