Summary from the AllSides News Team

"The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election," wrote Attorney General William Barr in a letter to Congress summarizing the report.

That left the decision to the Justice Department, which concluded that the findings were "not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction-of-justice offense."
