The US Congress is waiting for the full Mueller report, but justice Minister Barr presented at a press conference first, his point of view. The Democrats criticized the procedure sharp.
Before the members of the US Congress get to see the full Mueller report, U.S. attorney General William Barr summarized the content in a press conference. Accordingly, the report will show clearly that US President Donald Trump and any of his advisors conspired with the Russian government or cooperates. According to Barr, the investigations have shown, however, that it was quite the attempt by Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
The Minister of justice defended Trump in addition again against accusations that the US President had obstructed the investigation Mueller's. In the report, no sufficient evidence could be found, said Barr. He reiterated the conclusions he had already drawn in March, after Mueller had given him the report.
Redactions due to sensitive infocopies of the nearly 400-page report would still be delivered in the course of the day to Congress. However, it will be an "edited version". It is expected that individual passages are blackened. According to Barr this is necessary because of the reports contained secret information.
The US President himself has taken, according to the Ministry of justice no impact on the Redactions. Trump had made of the prerogative, certain information not be disclosed, any use, explained Barr.
