President Donald Trump's legal team on Thursday declared "total victory" after the release of the redacted report on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference.
"The results of the investigation are a total victory for the President," Trump's legal team said in a statement. "The report underscores what we have argued from the very beginning - there was no collusion - there was no obstruction."
Earlier in the day, Attorney General William Barr held a press conference on the Mueller's findings, following up on a four-page summary he sent to Congress after receiving the special counsel's report in late March.
The final report, with redactions, was then released to the public and Congress shortly after the conclusion of Barr's press conference.
Trump also weighed in on the report.
"This should never happen to another president again, this hoax," Trump said at a White House event. "It should never happen to another president again. Thank you."
