US Special Counsel Robert Mueller Ends Russia Probe


The US special counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his report on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

He's sent the report to attorney general William Barr - but details have yet to be revealed.

Mr Barr told members of Congress that he may be in a position to share details as soon as this weekend.

Officials in the US are not obliged to publicly release the report, but there will be intense public pressure for its release as soon as possible.

Former FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed by the US Justice Department in 2017 to investigate the allegations of Russian interference.

Part of the investigation has focused on whether anybody tied to the Trump campaign cooperated or 'colluded' with Russia.

While it remains unclear what, if anything, Mr Mueller's team has found on that front, several former Trump aides have been indicted or convicted for crimes - such as lying to Congress - as a result of the probe.

Trump himself has frequently referred to the probe as a "witch hunt".
