DOJ Releases Part of Memo on Decision Not to Charge Trump with Obstruction
Joel B. Pollak 26 May 2021
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released part of an internal memorandum recommending against prosecuting then-President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice as a result of findings by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in 2019.
As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a scathing rebuke to former Attorney General William Barr over his handling of the case.
Mueller’s original assignment had been to investigate foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election. He found no evidence of collusion with Russia. However, he also added a second volume exploring allegations of obstruction.
As Breitbart News reported in March 2019:
Attorney General Barr notes: “The Special Counsel states that while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” However, he says, that after consulting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, “the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”
