More than 450 former US federal prosecutors have signed a statement asserting the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller would have led to multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice against Donald Trump if he wasn’t president.
The former prosecutors worked within Republican and Democratic administrations and present a strong rebuttal to the determination of Attorney General William Barr that the evidence was “not sufficient”.
Mueller did not make a verdict on whether or not Trump should be charged with obstruction in his report, instead laying out all the evidence his investigation uncovered and citing Justice Department legal opinion stating sitting presidents cannot be indicted.
