US President Donald Trump pumps his fist during a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Thursday, March 28. It was his first rally since special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his long-awaited report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. Attorney General William Barr summarized the Mueller report on Sunday and said that Mueller found no evidence that Trump's campaign or his associates conspired with Russia to help him win the election. The report offered personal vindication to Trump and a powerful new political weapon.

Actor Jussie Smollett leaves a courthouse in Chicago after all charges against him were dropped on Tuesday, March 26. Smollett told police that two men attacked him on January 29 and yelled racist and homophobic slurs while striking him, police said. Police initially investigated the case as a possible hate crime, but they later said they believed the attack was staged by Smollett to bolster his profile and career. Smollett faced 16 felony disorderly conduct charges, but those charges were dropped after the actor forfeited his bail money and did community service. The prosecutor, First Assistant State's Attorney Joe Magats, said thousands of cases have similar resolutions. Smollett has maintained his innocence, saying he would not put his family "through a fire like this" for a lie.
