In the United States published the edited report of Muller on the Russian case: what it turned out

Promulgated report prepared Special Prosecutor Robert Muller on the basis of an investigation into possible Russian interference in the election of the American president. The document has more than 400 pages, but the secret information and some of the testimony of witnesses from it are removed.

Before publishing the report, US Attorney General William Barr held a special press conference at which he answered journalists' questions about Muller’s investigation.

Then the report recorded on the CD was delivered to Congress and only after that the document was laid out in open access.

Speaking at a press conference, William Barr said that Muller did not find evidence that any US citizen coordinated his activities with Russia, writes RBC.

“The investigation did not establish that members of Trump’s campaign headquarters colluded with Russia or collaborated with her in her actions to intervene in the elections,” he said. At the same time, Muller’s report confirms that Russia tried to intervene in the presidential election of 2016 of the year, the prosecutor general stressed.

The White House "fully contributed" to the investigation of Muller, the presidential team received a copy of the report with notes for review before publication.

According to Bloomberg, Barr also said that Muller discovered ten episodes that could potentially be regarded as Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice. But Barr and his deputy Rod Rosenstein "did not agree with the theories of the Special Prosecutor," writes Air force.

What turned out from the report?

  • The report has more 400 pages. The part devoted to the investigation of relations with Russia, takes 199 pages. The part about whether Trump impeded justice - 182 pages. Another 30-40 pages - application.
  • It follows from the report that in May 2017 of the year, having learned from Deputy Minister of Justice Jeff Sessions that the head of the ministry appointed Robert Muller as Special Prosecutor, Trump said: “Oh God. It's horrible. This is the end of my presidency. I [end].
  • The clues discovered by Muller prove that the president tried to curtail the investigation of the special prosecutor to protect himselfand also that he I wanted to fire the special prosecutor himself. At the same time, Mueller found no evidence that Trump fired FBI Director James Comey (he was the one who started the “Russian investigation”) in order to hide his own collusion with Moscow.
  • At the same time, Muller noted that attempts to thwart the investigation were not successful, because Trump's subordinates did not follow his orders.
  • Trump knew that his lawyer, Michael Cohen, was giving the congress false testimony that the president had never had business interests in Russia. In fact, they were - it turned out that Trump, through Cohen, was trying to negotiate the construction of the Trump Tower tower in the Moscow City area, moreover, he did this when he was already a presidential candidate. However, the Special Prosecutor did not receive evidence that Trump had forced Cohen to lie to Congress. Cohen eventually got three years in prison - including for lying to lawmakers.
  • The Russian government has extensively and systematically intervened in the 2016 presidential election of the year., the report says. Investigation revealed "numerous connections between the Russian government and the Trump campaign". The investigation found that the Russian government believed that it would benefit from the Trump presidency, and worked to achieve such a result, and representatives of Trump's headquarters expected that they would win the election thanks to information stolen and uncovered by the Russian authorities. However, the investigation did not confirm that Trump's headquarters had conspired with the Russian authorities or coordinated with them their interference in the elections.
  • Immediately after the election people associated with the authorities of Russia, began to get in touch with representatives of the headquarters of Trump through various channels. One of them in the report is called Sergei Kislyak, who was then Russia's ambassador to the United States. The Muller team believes that these contacts were approved by the Russian side at the highest level. However, there is no evidence that as a result, Trump somehow coordinated his actions with Russia.
  • Trump answered the special counsel's questions in writing instead of appearing for oral questioning. Mueller's team assessed the written responses as largely "inadequate" - Trump answered most questions that he “doesn’t remember”. The team of the special prosecutor could have him called for on-site interrogation, but decided not to do this so as not to delay the investigation.
  • Müller was unable to say with certainty whether there were signs of obstruction of justice in Trump’s actions. In his opinion, the congress should take a decision on this.

Reaction

In early April, Trump said that he had not read the full report, but again he said that the information about the conspiracy with Moscow was a hoax, and the investigation was led by a team of "angry democrats."

After Barra’s press conference was over, Trump posted a picture on Twitter saying: “There is no collusion. There is no obstruction to [justice]. To all the spiteful critics and radical Democrats from the left: GAME OVER. ”

The chairman of the legal committee of the House of Representatives, Gerrold Nadler, even Wednesday evening accused the Prosecutor General of having led a media campaign in the interests of the president, holding a press conference before the report was published. And the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and the leader of the democratic minority in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, have already promised to seek Muller’s call to Congress for a hearing to testify.

Another source of grievance for the opposition is the timing of Barr's release of the report. Easter and the weekend are approaching in the United States, Congress is not holding meetings this week, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives has left for a visit to Europe.

President Vladimir Putin, responding to Barr's note, stressed that Russia did not intervene in the elections in the United States and that there was no collusion. “The mountain gave birth to a mouse, as they say ... it was clear to us in advance,” he said.

Recall, since 2016, the United States has undergone several investigations into the alleged collusion between Trump and Russia. The loudest of them were investigations by the FBI and special prosecutor Robert Muller. Both of them concluded that there was no collusion. But later it turned out that the bases for the start of the investigation were fake files and unreasonable data, which were paid by the pre-election headquarters of ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, not least relying on the help of Ukrainians.
