What did Kayleigh McEnany claim about investigations on 1 May 2020?
Kayleigh McEnany, White House Press Secretary (Trump administration) ·
there was a whole lot of speculation about “Russia, Russia, Russia” culminating in … the complete and total exoneration of President Trump.
Not an exoneration. On obstruction of justice, Special Counsel Mueller's report says it 'does not exonerate him.'
On obstruction, Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report states: 'while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him' (Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election, Vol. II, pp. 2, 8 and 182, U.S. Department of Justice).
