Mueller III did not find that Donald Trump’s campaign or any of his associates conspired with Russia in its efforts to interfere in the 2016 election, according to a summary of Mueller’s findings sent to lawmakers Sunday.
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his wife, Ann, depart St. John's Episcopal Church, across from the White House, in Washington on Sunday. The highly anticipated summary of Mueller’s investigation was sent to Congress on Sunday. Of particular concern was the interaction between a London-based professor and a low-level Trump foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos. According to court filings, the professor told Papadopoulos in April 2016 that the Russians held damaging information about Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, in the form of thousands of emails.
Since his appointment in May 2017 as special counsel, Mueller has also wrestled with the question of whether the president attempted to obstruct justice once the FBI began investigating those close to him.
Lawmakers awaiting the findings appeared on the Sunday morning news shows, with some declaring they’d already reached their own conclusions.
