Shannon bream in washington with more fox news special coverage. Dana thanks. It was just announced, there was no collusion with russia. The most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. There was no collusion with russia. There was no obstruction, none whatsoever. And it was a complete and total exoneration. Shannon President Trump just minutes ago reacting to the news from Attorney General bill barr that, quote, The Special Counsels 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 president ial election. Im Shannon Bream in washington. Weve got Fox Team Coverage across d. C. With Mike Emmanuel
on capitol hill, Molly Henneberg at the Justice Department, and lets begin with molly first. Good afternoon. Reporter hi, shannon. No
Out the primary findings. He says he thinks this is a bad day for those hoping the Mueller Investigation would take President Trump down. He congratulates mueller, saying he did a great job, and he says now its time to move on, govern the country, and get ready to comb combat russia and other foreign actors ahead of 2020. So hes complimenting the president , someone whos just spent several hours with him on the golf course. We want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Very important, dramatic developments unfolding right now in the russia investigation. Im wolf blitzer in washington. The Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, has submitted his report to the Justice Department, to the new Attorney General bill barr. Bill barr has just submitted a fourpage, singlespaced letter to congress with a lot of details. His conclusions on what Robert Mueller and his Special Counsel team came up with. Bottom line, he concludes there was no collusion. The president keeps
Investigation. And the fact that barr has been really the only voice speaking out on this has fed that perception. So with mueller now finally adding his voice, that will hurt the president s ability to continue this line of total exoneration, jim. Especially when its not true. Doesnt match the facts. Sarah westwood, thanks very much. Announcer this is cnn breaking news. Top of the hour here. I am jim sciutto in new york. Our breaking news, a bombshell in the making. Robert mueller, the Special Counsel, who has not said a word in public since he took over the Russia Investigation two years ago this very month, is set to make a Public Statement, his first Public Statement one hour from now. This comes amid weeks of negotiations with the House Judiciary Committee over whether and how he will answer questions on the hill about the report that he submitted in march and will he take questions, will he take them in public . A lot of open questions there about the testimony. But no question n
[question inaudible] their party is in shambles right now. They have the squad leading their party. Take a look at so many of the people that were the most outspoken, and they say this was a devastating day for The Democrats, and you know it, john, and everybody else knows it. This is a devastating day for The Democrats. A very dumb and unfair question. If you look at his correction, he took that totally out of play. He made his decision based on the facts, not based on some rule, so you shouldnt even ask
that question because you know it is a phony. Go ahead. [question indiscernible] pres. Trump The Democrats had nothing and now they have less than nothing and i think theyre going to lose the 2020 election very big, including congressional seats because of the path they chose. Now who knows where it goes, from what i hear, theyre giving up. I just say, i know them too well, they will never give up. Theyll go back in the room and try to figure something out. This whole thing has been h
records about it. i think he is has a good claim there. but that is not going to apply to the obstruction of justice. that is not going to apply to the lying to federal agents charges. trace: he said the obstruction goes away because the presidential records act makes the obstruction thing go away. he quoted saying, you can throw these papers in a fireplace if you want to bring a party and there s no objection obstruction because the presidential record acts allows you to have the documents. i think, look, i think the claim of selected prosecution is really went then-president trump and his lawyers are going to have to be making and the public form. it is not a good argument to make in a courtroom. he can t say, i m innocent because you should have charged her. i think the other problem here in the argument is going to be, look, it does not matter whether you committed the underlying crime or not. still committed a crime when you lie through the government when he said, i did not
