Mueller's team has no plans to issue any new indictments.
"The report does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the special counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public," the letter states.
Attorney General Barr wrote that no one associated with the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.
The investigation found that "there were two main Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election," Barr's letter stated. The attempts stemmed from a Russian organization and the Russian government.
The first attempt to interfere in the election was by the Russian group, the Internet Research Agency (IRA), "to conduct disinformation and social media operations in the United States designed to sow social discord, eventually with the aim of interfering with the election."

Investigators determined that "Russian government actors successfully hacked into computers and obtained emails from persons affiliated with the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party organizations, and publicly disseminated those materials through various intermediaries, including WikiLeaks."
In total, 26 Russian nationals and three Russian companies have been charged in connection to the investigation.
