Washington, March 23 (IANS) US special counsel Robert Mueller has submitted a confidential report to Attorney General William Barr, marking the end of his nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, media reported.

The Justice Department notified Congress late Friday that it had received Mueller's report but did not describe its contents, according to The Washington Post.
