Special counsel Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report on potential collusion between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia is finally out — and time will tell if it will either help or hurt the president.

Roughly 450 pages, the document is the definitive account of whether Moscow and political operators around Trump worked together to win the White House. It also includes details about whether the president tried to obstruct justice by interfering with Mueller’s probe.

Attorney General William Barr released a four-page summary of the report on March 24 in which he stated that Mueller found no collusion, but added that the probe also didn’t exonerate Trump on the obstruction issue. That led to a major controversy between Democrats and Republicans, mainly because Barr’s brief summary didn’t explain how Mueller came to his results and offered scant other details.

Now, after two years, the public has a chance to see the report — with some redactions concerning information Barr deemed sensitive — for themselves.
