WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr held a news conference on Thursday to provide his account of how he handled Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
“There is substantial evidence to show that the president was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents, and fueled by illegal leaks,” Barr said. The attorney general made a distinction: while hacking the emails was a crime, publishing those emails was not if the person did not also participate in the hacking.
“The Special Counsel’s report did not find that any person associated with the Trump campaign illegally participated in the dissemination of the materials,” Barr said.Mueller examined what he called 10 separate “episodes” involving Trump related to obstruction of justice. Barr told reporters that he and Rosenstein thought that some of the “episodes” did not amount to obstruction of justice. But regardless, they used Mueller’s legal framework in making the determination.
