国际英语资讯:U.S. Justice Department releases redacted version of Mueller report on Russia probe

Barr said that he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein disagreed with some of Mueller's "legal theories" about obstruction of justice and concluded that the special counsel did not have "sufficient" evidence to establish that Trump committed an obstruction of justice offense.

Trump told an event at the White House on Thursday that he's "having a good day."

"It's called no collusion, no obstruction," he said. "This should never happen to another president again."

Trump's re-election campaign claimed in a statement on Thursday that the president "has been fully and completely exonerated yet again."

"Now the tables have turned, and it's time to investigate the liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump," said campaign manager Brad Parscale.

Mueller, whom Rosenstein appointed in May 2017, took over the investigation after Trump abruptly fired former FBI Director James Comey, a move that raised questions about his potential obstruction of justice.

According to the report, Trump was frustrated by the special counsel's appointment.

"Everyone tells me if you get one of these independent counsels it runs your presidency," Trump said, cited by the report. "It takes years and years and I won't be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me."

Trump also had tried to seize control the Mueller's investigation and force his removal after media reports indicated that the special counsel was looking into whether the president had obstructed justice, the report revealed.
