A redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller s long-awaited report on Russian interference in the 2016 election was released Thursday, allowing Congress and the American public to read the findings for themselves.

Attorney General William Barr went to bat for Trump at a press conference on Muellers report early Thursday minutes before the reports public release in which he repeatedly echoed the the presidents refrain that there was no collusion during the 2016 election. The Trump-picked attorney generals decision to speak on the redacted report before it was sent to Congress drew fierce criticism from Democratic lawmakers , who then requested that Mueller testify about his findings before the House Judiciary Committee by next month.

Throughout the special counsels nearly two-year investigation, six Trump campaign associates and dozens of Russian operatives were charged with various crimes.

Here are some key takeaways from the redacted report released to the public:

1. Mueller looked at 10 instances of possible obstruction by Trump.

The report details multiple instances in which Trump may have obstructed justice by using his authority to interfere with the special counsels investigation. Mueller declined to make a determination about whether the president obstructed justice.

Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations, the report states . These incidents were often carried out through on-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels.

The report pointed to instances like Trump telling former White House Counsel Donald McGahn to fire Mueller as special counsel , and asking political operative Corey Lewandowski to tell then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to limit the scope of the investigation to future elections.

However, an obstruction of justice charge would require the special counsel to determine that Trumps actions, which may have impeded the Russia probe, were done with that intent, Mueller said in the report. While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him, the special counsel wrote.
