The special counsel's report revealed that some of the individuals interviewed by the Mueller team, including some associated with the Trump campaign, "deleted relevant communications or communicated during the relevant period using applications that feature encryption"

"The investigation did not always yield admissible information or testimony, or a complete picture of the activities undertaken by subjects of the investigation," the report reads on page 10.

And Mueller notes in the report that "the office cannot rule out the possibility that the unavailable information would shed additional light on (or cast in a new light) the events described in the report".

John Barnett, who says he is a Republican who did not vote for Trump in 2016, reacted to the report.

"I thought Trump was unfit but right now I can't wait to vote for him in 2020 just out of spite over this," the Florida resident said.

"The country was dragged through a very divisive time for the last 2 years in which many reasonable people really believed we had a Russian agent in the White House," he said.

Florida is a crucial swing state that often has a disproportionate say in determining the presidency due to electoral college rules.

Vice-President Mike Pence is just out with this statement:

"Now that the Special Counsel investigation is completed, the American people have a right to know whether the initial investigation was in keeping with long-standing Justice Department standards - or even lawful at all.

"We must never allow our justice system to be exploited in pursuit of a political agenda.

"While many Democrats will cling to discredited allegations, the American people can be confident President Trump and I will continue to focus where we always have, on advancing an agenda that’s making our nation stronger, safer, and more secure."

Conway says the president "doesn't need a point by point rebuttal" of the Mueller report.

"His greatest rebuttal will be - he's in office, he'll be re-elected."

"The Democrats have nothing," she adds. "Not a single message that doesn't involve Trump."

"You're just gonna have to move on and cover issues that Americans are telling you in their own polling are important to them," Kellyanne Conway tells reporters.

"We have a lot to solve in this country...We gotta be honest with the American people."

Conway also said that she was "very surprised" to see the report quoting Trump as saying Mueller's appointment was the end of his presidency.

"That was not the reaction of the president that day when I was there," she said.

"There are words where - the president was quoted throughout the report where he doesn't use those words."

Speaking to reporters, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said: "We're accepting apologies today, too, for anybody who feels the grace in offering them."

"There was no collusion," she said. "When I needed to find negative information about Hillary Clinton and how to beat her I needed to look no further than Hillary Clinton."

In a joint statement, Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer said: “The differences are stark between what Attorney General Barr said on obstruction and what Special Counsel Mueller said on obstruction.

"As we continue to review the report, one thing is clear: Attorney General Barr presented a conclusion that the president did not obstruct justice while Mueller's report appears to undercut that finding."

Other Democrats have continued to weigh in and call for the release of the unredacted report.

The report says that Trump's lawyers argued that his constitutional authority to terminate an FBI director and end investigations "cannot constitutionally constitute obstruction of justice".

But the Mueller team "concluded that Congress can validly regulate the President's exercise of official duties to prohibit actions motivated by a corrupt intent to obstruct justice."

Some analysts say it's a clear call from the Mueller team for lawmakers to look into the president's conduct.

Trump's anger towards his former attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is nothing new, but the report sheds light on some details of their tense relationship.

According to testimony from Jody Hunt, Sessions’s chief of staff, the then attorney general carried around a resignation letter in his pocket for a year every time he went to the White House.

And former White House chief of staff Reince Preibus "believed that the President's desire to replace Sessions was driven by the President's hatred of Sessions' recusal from the Russia investigation".

The report notes that after more than a year of negotiations, Trump refused to sit down for an in-person interview with Mueller's team.

He responded to written questions but refused to answer anything relating to obstruction of justice or the transition period, according to the report.

After WikiLeaks released damaging emails from the Democratic Party, Trump "expressed scepticism that Russia had hacked the emails at the same time as he and other Campaign advisers privately sought information [redacted] about any further planned WikiLeaks releases", the report says.

Trump also denied being involved with any business projects in Russia despite having pursued a possible Trump Tower in Moscow as late as June 2016.

And after his win, the president "privately expressed concerns that reports of Russian election interference might lead the public to question the legitimacy of his election".

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders acknowledged to investigators that her claim that "countless" FBI agents had lost confidence in ex-FBI director James Comey was "not founded on anything", according to the report.

She described the inaccurate comment as a "slip of the tongue".

The president tweeted a video compilation of news reports of when Barr released his summary of the Mueller report on 24 March.

The video was edited to show journalists noting the report found no evidence of collusion with Russia, but it omitted the point that the special counsel's investigation did not exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice.

A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin told the state news agency TASS that officials will need to "browse through" the report to "estimate whether it contains anything which deserves analysis".

Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser who resigned barely a month into the Trump presidency over contacts with Russia, is mentioned several times in the report.

After he resigned, Trump directed an aide to call him "to let him know that the president still cared about him", according to the report.

He also wished to "pass a message to Flynn telling him the president felt bad for him and that he should stay strong".

Flynn has been found guilty of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia and is awaiting sentencing.

At a hearing in December, a judge told the former Army lieutenant general "arguably you sold your country out".

Mueller's team said obstruction by the president failed because others refused to "carry out orders".

It states: "The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests."

“President Trump has been fully and completely exonerated yet again," Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement.

However, the report did not exonerate the president in allegations of obstruction of justice.

"Now the tables have turned, and it’s time to investigate the liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump, motivated by political retribution and based on no evidence whatsoever."

"Justice will be served."

The Special Counsel's team considered charging the president's son, Donald Trump Jr, and son-in-law Jared Kushner, with campaign finance violations in connection with the 9 June Trump Tower meeting.

However, Mueller concluded it would not meet the Department of Justice's burden of proof as they could not obtain admissible evidence to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt that these individuals acted 'wilfully' with general knowledge of the illegality of their conduct" as well as that it would be difficult to prove that the value of this promised information "exceeds the threshold for a criminal violation".
