Washington (CNN) Robert Mueller's investigation into possible obstruction of justice could not clear President Donald Trump, saying that it was unable to determine "that no criminal conduct occurred," according to a redacted version of the special counsel's report released Thursday. In the report, Mueller provided a legal justification for why the special counsel was able to investigate obstruction of justice, even if it could not indict a sitting president. Mueller did not make a "traditional prosecutorial judgment" on the obstruction question, Barr said. "The President took no act that in fact deprived the special counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation," Barr said. No obstruction," Trump said to cheers at a Wounded Warriors event at the White House.
