President Trump responded Thursday to Attorney General William Barrâs press conference with a meme reminiscent of the “Game of Thrones” series.
âNo Collusion. No Obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats – Game Over,â reads the caption of the meme, which shows Trump facing a cloud of fog.

Trump was active on Twitter Thursday morning before the attorney generalâs press conference tweeting out that the report was âpresidential harassmentâ and a âhoax.â
Barr said in his press conference, ahead of the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, there was âno collusion.â
âAt the same time, there was relentless speculation in the news media about the presidentâs personal culpability. Yet, as he said from the beginning, there was in fact no collusion,â Barr said.
Barr also revealed Thursday that Mueller examined 10 instances involving actions by Trump that may have constituted obstruction of justice.
Mueller did not make a determination about whether Trump obstructed justice with his actions across the span of the probe, but rather laid out the evidence on both sides. Instead, it was Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who concluded that there was not enough evidence to establish whether Trump obstructed justice.
The Mueller report represents the completion of a nearly two year investigation into whether Trumpâs 2016 campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the election.
“Game of Thrones” is a popular HBO TV series based on a series of books whose final season kicked off last week.
