we are taking a live look at capitol hill. attorney general william barr delivered his letter to congress, summarizing the report about the russia investigation. good evening and thanks for joining us. many are calling for the full report to be released. here's abc's lana zack. william barr after delivering his letter outlining the principal conclusions of robert mueller's conclusion. he states the special counsel's investigation did not find that the trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or

coordinated to influence the u.s. presidential elections despite multiple offers from individuals to assist. on the question of obstruction of justice, the special counsel sets out evidence on both sides of the question, noting while he wrote this does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it does not exonerate him and did not draw a conclusion one way or the other. they believe the evidence developed in the special counsel investigation is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. the president calling it an illegal take down that failed. >> hopefully somebody is going to be looking at the other side. it's a complete exoneration. no collusion. no obstruction. >> house judiciary chairman jerry nadler disagrees. >> president trump is wrong. this report does not amount to a so-called total exoneration.

it is unconscionable that president trump would try to spin the special counsel's findings as if his conduct was remotely acceptable. >> vowing to fight for the full mueller report and use subpoena power to get the attorney general to appear before the committee. abc news, washington. >> meantime we talked to bay area lawmakers and political movers and shakers about the summary. many said they want to see the full report. abc's luz pena has reactions from both sides and joins us live in the newsroom. >> after the two-year investigation, several members of congress want to see more than a four-page summary put out by attorney general william barr. the mueller report is out with a mixed reaction. >> i'm angry as an american citizen that our democracy was hijacked by these totally false allegations. >> we need to know what he said.

what he did. how he arrived at it. >> this congresswoman wants to see the findings and why the mueller report states. while it does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. >> obstruction of justice and the president not being exonerate from that really belongs in the congress. the congress is the body that needs to take that up. >> the national committee woman of the republican national committee for california said it's time to move on. >> we are never going to get those two years back as a country. he is never going to get it back. hope hicks and michael caputo and americans who were spied on will never get their time back and attorney's fees back. there is no justice for those people. >> democratic lawmakers asked for the attorney general to testify before congress and explain his interpretation of

the report. >> we know that the congress has a different constitutional responsibility both in terms of oversight, overseeing all of this and investigation. we will have to do both. >> now according to the mueller report, 19 lawyers assisted by a team of 40 fbi agents and analysts and forensic accountants worked in the findings of this conclusion. abc 7 news. >> thanks to you. former fbi director james comey who headed the russia investigation before being fired by president trump tweeted this not long after the mueller news broke today. a photo of him gazing up at what appears to be redwood trees and wrote only so many questions. comey spoke at two events, but it is unclear where he is now. bernie sanders criticized the summary at a rally in san francisco earlier today.
