WEST PALM BEACH, United States – President Donald Trump slammed the two-year probe into his links with Russia as “an illegal takedown that failed” on Sunday, and said he had been completely cleared by the results. Former FBI director Robert Mueller headed the effort to check suspicions that Trump and his 2016 election campaign had colluded with Russian agents. However, Mueller found no evidence of such links, according to a brief summary of the still confidential report provided by Attorney General William Barr. The summary also stated that Mueller did not conclude that Trump had tried to obstruct justice by hampering the probe. A decision on that matter will be taken by Barr, who was appointed by Trump.
