It’s finally here.  The redacted version of the Mueller report has been released.  It is broken up into two volumes and totals 448 pages.  First, on the question as to whether the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia…the investigation identified numerous links between individuals with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign, but there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges.  Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us to break it all down.

Next, we continue our conversation with Ginger to discuss the question of obstruction of justice.  The report details 10 instances of possible obstruction where the president tried to seize control of the Russia probe and force the removal of Robert Mueller, but no determination was made leaving it open for Congress to decide.  In many cases Trump was saved from more legal jeopardy, by his staffers who refused to comply with his requests.

Finally, the Mueller report provides us with some intimate scenes from inside the Trump White House. My producer Miranda joins us to talk about how the President felt when he first heard that Mueller was appointed Special Counsel, a tense meeting between the president and White House Counsel Don McGahn, how long the president held on to former AG Jeff Session’s resignation letter.
