Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation showed that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign, Attorney General William Barr wrote to Congress on Sunday.
"The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 US Presidential Election," Barr said in his letter.
Quoting from Mueller's report, he added, "(T)he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
Concerning activities of Russia's Internet Research Agency, Barr wrote that "The Special Counsel did not find that any U.S. person or Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly coordinated with the IRA in its efforts, although the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian nationals and entities in connection with these activities."
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham issued a statement on Twitter proclaiming, "Good day for the rule of law. Great day for President Trump and his team. No collusion and no obstruction. The cloud hanging over President Trump has been removed by this report."
Mueller's investigation began in May 2017 to address allegations that there had been collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016.
Over the course of the investigation, charges were brought against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort related to activities long before he led the Trump campaign, as well as against former Trump attorney Michael Cohen and several other individuals.
