Trump’s conduct as described in the Mueller report was not pretty, noting the “investigation found multiple acts by the president that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations.” While the strength of the evidence varied from incident to incident, there was at least “some evidence” that Trump did the following (and this is only a partial list).

He publicly and privately encouraged witnesses “not to cooperate” with the Mueller investigation.
He attempted to get a White House staffer to create a potentially misleading witness statement.
He made statements during the trial of Paul Manafort, including the jury deliberations, that had the “potential to influence jurors.”
He publicly attacked potential witnesses "who might offer adverse information."
He may have been aware that his personal counsel Michael Cohen had testified falsely to Congress about the Moscow Trump Tower, yet did nothing to bring that to Congress’s attention.
