Barr says he felt Mueller 'could've reached a decision' on obstruction
By Jacqueline Thomsen and Olivia Beavers - 05/30/19 02:26 PM EDT




Attorney General William Barr says he believes special counsel Robert Mueller could have reached a decision on whether President Trump obstructed justice during the course of his 22-month investigation.

"I personally felt he could've reached a decision," Barr told CBS on Thursday.

Barr pointed to Justice Department guidance that says a sitting president cannot be indicted, adding that Mueller "could've reached a decision as to whether there was criminal activity."

Mueller said Wednesday in remarks from the Justice Department that the guidance prevented his team from charging Trump with a crime.

"It would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of the actual charge," he said.
