Sunday marked World Tuberculosis Day. While T.B. doesn’t attract the same attention as influenza, malaria or Ebola, it recently surpassed HIV/AIDS to become the globe's leading infectious killer.

In his summary of the Mueller report, Attorney General William Barr concluded there was no evidence that President Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Although the full Mueller report has not been released publicly or made available to Congress, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, says “it’s not premature for the president to say he’s exonerated and vindicated.” Judy Woodruff talks to Conway about Mueller’s “full and fair investigation” and why the public has a right to know how the special counsel’s inquiry originated.

There is no doubt that Russia’s government attempted to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. As William Brangham reports, once the U.S. intelligence community reached that consensus, as well as high confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered the cyber and social media “disinformation” campaigns, a major investigation and dozens of indictments followed.

Republicans say the attorney general's four-page summary of the Mueller report exonerates President Trump on obstruction of justice.
