Trump did not obstruct justice over Russia probe, attorney general rules after Mueller declines to determine criminality

Donald Trump did not obstruct justice over the Russia investigation, the US attorney general William Barr has ruled. Mr Barr took the decision after special counsel Robert Mueller, who led the probe, declined to draw a legal conclusion about the president’s conduct. The special counsel’s team, according to Mr Barr, undertook a “thorough factual investigation” into whether Mr Trump’s actions could constitute obstruction of justice.
