Falsely claims 'Complete and Total EXONERATION' from the Mueller report
After Attorney General William Barr released a four-page summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's findings, Trump tweeted, 'No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!' The Mueller report explicitly did not exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice; as Barr's own summary acknowledged, the report stated it 'does not exonerate him.' Trump's claim of total exoneration was his own false characterization, distinct from Barr's misleading summary, and he repeated it in the days that followed. Fact-checkers documented that the exoneration framing contradicted the report's stated conclusion on obstruction.
