The report has served as a Rorschach test for the American public over the last month and a half. President Donald Trump and his supporters have clung to the fact that Mueller found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, while the President&#x27;s opponents have fixated on the fact that the report lists numerous instances in which the President appeared to obstruct justice. The report states clearly that while it doesn&#x27;t conclude that the President committed a crime, &quot;it also does not exonerate him.&quot;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The public response was made all the more muddy by Attorney General William Barr&#x27;s initial four-page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/mueller-report-trump-obstruction-of-justice-barr\/\">summary<\/a> of the report, which appeared to downplay the special counsel&#x27;s findings around obstruction of justice. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/05\/01\/politics\/mueller-letter-to-barr\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">letter to Barr<\/a>, Mueller himself wrote that the summary \u201cdid not fully capture the context, nature, and substance\u201d of his office\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"related-cne-video-component__dek\">WIRED contributing editor Garrett M. Graff, who covers special counsel Robert Mueller&#39;s Russia probe, authored the magazine&#39;s June cover story about Mueller&#39;s time in Vietnam, and wrote &quot;The Threat Matrix: Inside Robert Mueller&#39;s FBI and the War on Global Terror.&quot; Graff breaks down the investigation&#39;s status, the big outstanding questions, and where the investigation is likely to go after the midterm election.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/watch-robert-mueller-statement-russia-investigation\" target=\"bwo\" >https:\/\/www.wired.com\/category\/security\/feed\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/5cee97df557798844791b085\/master\/pass\/Security_Mueller-statement-81708297.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Credit to Author: Issie Lapowsky| Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 14:50:24 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Special counsel Robert Mueller is making his first public remarks since the release of his report in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[10378,10607],"tags":[714,21465],"class_list":["post-15419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-security","category-wired","tag-security","tag-security-national-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15419\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
