“The Special Counsel’s conclusions confirm the President’s account that there was no effort by his campaign to conspire or coordinate with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election.” pic.twitter.com/GhNeUx3idP

Before boarding Air Force One, Trump told reporters: “It was just announced there was no collusion with Russia, the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. There was no collusion with Russia, there was no obstruction.”
Trump also referenced the investigation’s connection to the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton, saying: “Hopefully someone is going to look at the other side, this was an illegal takedown that failed.”
It remains unclear if an investigation will be conducted into Hillary Clinton but either way the fact that the special counsel was unable to find collusion or obstruction of justice is a huge win for the president.
