It’s Monday, D.C., and the sunny first weekend of spring did not disappoint. Today will be a bit chillier with some possible rain.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his report to Attorney General William Barr Friday afternoon. By Sunday, Barr released a four-page letter summarizing the conclusions:

    • Mueller did not find evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with the Russians to interfere in the 2016 election.

    • According to Barr, Mueller wrote that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

    • Mueller left it up to Barr to decide whether Trump obstructed justice; Barr, in his letter, writes that there is not sufficient evidence to charge Trump with obstruction.

  • Federal prosecutors quietly dropped the remaining 188 cases against inauguration day protesters earlier this month. During the hearing March 15, prosecutors revealed that the lead prosecutor in the case, Jennifer Kerkhoff, gave the court incorrect information regarding one defendant; judges also found last year that Kerkhoff withheld evidence from defense attorneys. She now works for a different criminal justice agency.

  • One of the few sit-down restaurants east of the Anacostia River closed its doors Friday. Owner Dionne Reeder says she couldn’t come to an agreement with her current landlord. She told WAMU she’s looking for another location in the city.

  • There’s a creepy mannequin peeking out of an apartment building window in Alexandria. His name is Oscar.
