As it happened: Mueller report: No evidence of collusion - BBC News
But US Attorney General William Barr said the special counsel did not exonerate the president.
Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand was on a stage next to New York's Trump International Hotel, launching her campaign shortly before the Mueller summary was released.

"It is not often that I agree with Richard Nixon," she said, pausing for a laugh. "But he was right to say that the American people have a right to know if their president is a crook or not."

It got one of the biggest cheers of her speech. However, no-one we asked - before or after - said they had been pinning any hopes on the inquiry.

"I don’t think this will be a big voting issue," said Austin Bicknell, a student visiting from Seattle. "When people follow Trump down the rabbit hole, that is when we lose. But if we focus on healthcare, economic issues, healthcare, that is when they have a chance of taking him out."

Kathy Rosenberg, a local nurse, said she had already learnt enough from the investigation to be sure he is an illegitimate leader.

"The Trump people are going to say it is a big victory and that is very depressing," she predicted. "But that is why I am here, I want see him defeated."

Many people on the ground here echoed her wish to take on Donald Trump at the ballot boxes, rather than through the courts.

Denis Lee Owen, who works in economic political development, looked on after as the speeches wrapped up and a small, very vocal bunch of Trump supporters circled the barriers in Maga hats.

"People could be disappointed today," he said. "But the Mueller inquiry is a process, not an event."
