It was determined that there was no direct collusion between Russian hackers and the Trump campaign, but the American public continues to examine the impact of what influence Russia could have created in the 2016. There was an overt attempt by Russia to pervade Election 2016 but it was not a conscious, orchestrated effort by Trump to completely embrace a cohesive effort to subvert the election. A second Steele dossier memo was recently released stating that Russia rejected Mitt Romney as Secretary of State. They preferred Rex Tillerson because as the former chair of Exxon Mobil, Russia was in a better position of lifting sanctions imposed on Russia in December of 2016 when it was discovered that Russian Hackers, the GRU, interfered with U.S. elections including hacking several Florida county election boards. They also were attempting to assist Trump in damaging Hillary Clinton.
It was evident that Trump felt threatened by the existence of the Mueller investigation. He wanted Don McGahn to fire Muller or pervade the active investigation by thwarting it. Don McGahn refused and ended up resigining. In this sense, Trump tried to use his authority to disrupt a Justice dept. probe.
There was some debate after the release of the redacted report that Barr should not have fully excused Trump. The public as a whole thought Congress should determine if there was enough evidence to incriminate Trump and possibly impeach him.
