One, bill barrs boss as the 11th hour gets under way on a consequential tuesday night. Good evening once again from our nbc headquarters. Day 831. This pertains to bill barr. In plain english, it sure seemed to a lot of people these past few weeks that trumps new attorney general may have shaded the truth of the Mueller Report from the getgo, may have cherry picked the facts in it. He certainly tailored his words to please his boss and gives Donald Trump Air cover, plenty of it to say as trump did loudly and proudly and incorrectly that he totally had been vindicated, no conclusion and no obstruction. Tonight we learned Robert Mueller had some of those concerns as well. Both major newspapers relentlessly covering the story are on the board tonight with different versions of the same big story. Mueller was bothered by what he saw and heard. Enough to write a letter to barr objecting to how his 22month worth of work was being portrayed. The two men spoke on the phone and the attorney gen

Barr wrote Rod Rosenstein and i have concluded the evidence developed during the special counsels investigation is not sufficient to establish the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. An official tells nbc news barr did not consult mueller about i had summary. The special counsels office said were not commenting. President trump reacted to the release of muellers finding claiming complete and total exoneration. After a long look, after a long investigation, after so many people have been so badly hurt, after not looking at the other side, where a lot of bad things happened, a lot of horrible things happened, a lot of very bad things happened for our country, 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 and none whatsoever and it was a complete and total exoneration. Its a shame that our country had to go through this. To be honest, its a shame that your
22month long investigation. A historic weekend certainly. This hour, attorney general william barr reviewing the highly participated Mueller Report as he decides what to release to congress. Heres what else we know. House democrats will strategize their next move in a Conference Call about three hours from now. Nbc news has learned House Republicans were cautiously optimistic last night during a Conference Call. Barr told congressional leaders yesterday he may release the top conclusions from the Mueller Report as soon as this weekend. As for the white house, it says it has not been briefed on muellers findings. The president is at his Florida Golf Club as supporters seize on reporting that the special counsel is not recommending any further indictments. If theres no collusion that was found, it strongly vindicates President Trump but raises serious questions about who is going to be held accountable at the fbi, the bad act areas that had a political agenda. But this morning, i spoke w
Melissa. Reporter you know, that is what is most remarkable, how much of this extraordinary building stands this morning. This is despite a fire that raged, john, for nine hours. 400 firefighters it took in the end to extinguish it. Really, they were the heros of the night. Theyve been praised here in france, also by the president who came here last night, and pointed out had it not been for their efforts, so much nor would have been lost. Not just the artifacts, brought out by a human chain formed overnight, of men, women, firefighters, police officers, but also it is one of the worlds architectural wonders. The gargoyles, the statues. This despite a fire that raged for the best part of the night. Daybreak in paris bringing the first images of the badly damaged Notre Dame Cathedral after a fire ripped through the beloved catholic landmark, stunning the city and the world.
