Robert Mueller's Russia Report Is Coming Thursday. Here's What You Need To Know
The Justice Department plans to release special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Thursday morning, it announced. Here's what you need to know.
Mueller was appointed in the spring of 2017 to investigate whether President Trump's campaign conspired with the Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The fact of the interference itself had been long established, and last month Attorney General William Barr told Congress that Mueller did not find that Trump's campaign was involved with it.
Barr also told Congress that Mueller didn't establish that Trump broke the law in trying to frustrate the investigation but neither did Mueller's office "exonerate" the president.
Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded for themselves, based on the special counsel's findings, that Trump would not face obstruction-of-justice charges.

Of course the timing is planned to have everyone pay as little attention as possible over Easter weekend.
