President Trump released a statement on Wednesday evening complimenting the work of a citizen group uncovering the DOJ’s decision not to prosecute him for obstruction of justice because he didn’t commit any. The DOJ determined that President Trump never committed obstruction, but this document is only coming out now
President Trump released a statement on this news
- Nothing would warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice
- Mueller had not found sufficient evidence to charge any underlying crime
- The President "reasonably believed that the Special Counsel's investigation was interfering with his governing agenda."
- The memo concluded that "the evidence was insufficient to support a criminal charge-even if Trump were not president."
The DOJ memo found that Trump's attacks on the Mueller investigation were motivated by legitimate frustration.
- The memo concluded that Trump could not be prosecuted for his statements about the investigation or criticisms of cooperating witnesses without intruding on his authority to control the executive branch under the Constitution.
