Mueller probe finds no conspiracy of Trump campaign with Russia, Trump claims "complete exoneration"

In another tweet, Nadler said his panel will call Barr to testify in near future "in light of the very concerning discrepancies and final decision making at the Justice Department following the Special Counsel report."

Meanwhile, Democrats are pushing for the release of Mueller's full report for their independent oversight and legislating to address issues that the special counsel's findings may raise.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he will not be "satisfied until the full report and all underlying evidence is made available."

"Americans deserve to know all the facts, which is why the report itself should be released - to the fullest extent of the law - in addition to the attorney general's summary," he said in a statement.

Mueller was appointed by Rosenstein in May, 2017, to lead the inquiry into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow during the 2016 election and whether the president obstructed justice, among other things.

The investigation has led to felony charges against 34 people, including six Trump associates, and three entities, triggering fierce criticism from the president and his political allies.

Much of the charges related to lying to Congress or federal investigators. Russia has denied any meddling in the 2016 election.

Barr said Sunday that Mueller's report "does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the special counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public."

The attorney general also revealed in his letter a massive effort by Mueller through the nation's court system and in interviewing witnesses to reach his findings.

Mueller's team issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses, as the special counsel employed 19 lawyers and was assisted by a team of 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants and other professional staff.

The process of determining what else can be released from Mueller's report "has begun," CNN reported, citing a Justice Department official.

There's a small team working on it, and no firm timeline for release, according to CNN.
