Did Trump commit obstruction of justice during the investigation?
Washington DC, March 25.– In a sprawling investigation spanning nearly two years, Special Counsel Robert Mueller examined two burning questions: Did President Donald Trump or any of his associates conspire with Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and did Trump commit obstruction of justice during the investigation?
A four-page summary of Mueller's highly anticipated report, sent in a letter by Attorney General William Barr to congressional leaders and the media, provides at least some of the answers.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller finished and submitted his investigative report to Attorney General William Barr this Friday at 5:15 pm, ending his nearly two-year investigation that has loomed over the Trump presidency, likely setting up on the following days a political battle over what he has found."
Washington DC, March 22 (DP.net).– With nearly 70% of Americans wanting the Mueller report released to the public, many people and organizations are asking the American people to send a loud and clear message to the Justice Department that this historic report should be made available to all in its full text. They argue that Americans deserve to know the full truth about these grave investigative issues concerning the US President and other members of the US government, whether the truth is good, bad, or ugly so that liberty and justice are preserved for all.
A Department of Justice official declared off the record and at first sight that no further indictments are recommended. In addition, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) reacted to the news arguing that if special counsel Robert Mueller's work concludes without a single collusion-related indictment, it will show there was no collusion between President Trump's campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.

Britain's Parliament delivered a crushing defeat to Prime Minister Theresa May's European Union divorce deal Tuesday, plunging the Brexit process into chaos just 17 days before the U.K. is due to leave the bloc."
London, March 13.– With just 17 days to go, Britain’s departure from the European Union was thrown into chaos and doubt Tuesday as Parliament delivered a crushing double blow to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit divorce deal and to her authority as leader.
Lawmakers rejected the deal 391-242, ignoring May’s entreaties to back the agreement and end the political chaos and economic uncertainty that Brexit has unleashed. It was a narrower outcome than the historic 230-vote margin of defeat for the agreement in January, before May secured changes from the bloc — but not by much.

as interim president and say Maduro wasn't legitimately re-elected
last year."
Caracas, March 11.– Venezuelans on Monday converged on a polluted river in Caracas to fill water bottles and held scattered protests in several cities as a growing sense of chaos took hold in a country where people have had little power, water and communications for days.
A 3-year-old girl with a brain tumor languished in a Caracas hospital, awaiting treatment after doctors started surgery but then suspended the operation when nationwide power outages first hit on Thursday, said the girl's fearful mother, who only gave her first name, Yalimar.

Vice President Mike Pence travels to Colombia to press for change in Venezuela.
U.S. President Donald Trump meets North Korean leader Kim Jong Un while U.S.
Feb. 25 (DP.net).– U.S. Vice President Mike Pence travels to Colombia on Monday, Feb. 25 to meet with the Lima Group of regional leaders who recognize Juan Guaido as Venezuela's leader. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro held elections last year that many leaders in the international community say were fraudulent.
The white House had announced that “while there, he will meet with Colombian President Ivan Duque, a proven leader on this issue, and other officials from the Western Hemisphere to define concrete steps that support the Venezuelan people and a transition to democracy." During the Lime Group meeting in Bogota, Pence talked about the efforts of the United States and its allies to deliver humanitarian assistance in Venezuela. He said it was time for the region to take a tougher stand in ousting Maduro, but he stopped short of calling for the use of force to oust a man he says represents a threat to the hemisphere. However, he asked the bloc of 14 largely Latin American countries to follow the U.S. lead. Some European envoys were also present at the meeting.
Guaidó, who addressed the Lima Group for the first time on Monday, declared that: “Today, the Maduro regime thinks that blocking humanitarian aid was a victory, they are dancing in Caracas on the graves of indigenous people,” Guaidó said. “They think that by normalizing the crisis they can hold on to power.” He added that the bloc needed to send a strong message.
