Attorney General William Barr , in a four-page letter to Congress , said that Mueller “ultimately determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment” about whether Trump obstructed justice. Although Mueller’s report “does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” the special counsel wrote in his confidential report, according to Barr’s summary. The special counsel ultimately declined to “make a traditional prosecutorial judgment” as to whether the president committed obstruction of justice, leaving the decision to Barr. But Barr has indicated that he believes that Justice Department regulations prevent him from releasing derogatory information about individuals the department has not charged. Mueller turned his report over to the Justice Department on Friday afternoon, less than two years after Rosenstein named him to the position after Comey’s firing.
