Attorney General William Barr has exonerated President Donald Trump of attempting to obstruct justice in the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. election. pic.twitter.com/sqXERtP5tq — Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) March 24, 2019Rather than settle matters, Barr’s conclusion is making Democrats in Congress even more intent on obtaining the fuller Mueller report. The fact that the special counsel didn’t exonerate Trump ― but his hand-picked attorney general did ― won’t satisfy Democratic lawmakers. “It is unacceptable that, after Special Counsel Mueller spent 22 months meticulously uncovering this evidence, Attorney General Barr made a decision not to charge the President in under 48 hours. The Attorney General did so without even interviewing the President,” they said.
