Trump jubilant after Mueller finds no collusion

WASHINGTON: The White House was jubilant on Monday after the massive Russian collusion probe cleared President Donald Trump, freeing him to campaign for reelection -- and tell Americans that he was right all along.

"It’s a great day for America," Trump’s spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told CNN. Trump has been under the cloud of potentially historic scandal for two years while special prosecutor Robert Mueller delved into allegations that his 2016 election campaign colluded with Russian agents trying to tilt the polls in his favour.

On Sunday, Attorney General William Barr said in a brief summary of the just-finished report that Mueller had found "no collusion with Russia."
