William Barr said he did not exonerate President Trump; Mueller agrees to testify to Congress

Attorney General William Barr said he did not exonerate President Trump and said that the American people can decide for themselves.

“I didn’t exonerate. I said that we did not believe that there was sufficient evidence to establish an obstruction offense which is the job of the Justice Department,” Barr said. \

Barr is testifying today before the Senate Judiciary Committee on special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

Barr’s testimony comes after a source told CNN that Mueller expressed concerns  that Barr’s four-page memo didn’t fully capture his report.

Meanwhile, a deal has been brokered for Robert Mueller to testify to Congress about his report into Russian election interference and possible obstruction of justice by Donald Trump – an event that has immediately become the latest, most eagerly anticipated appearance of an official on Capitol Hill.
