Read our privacy policy Donald Trump has admitted Russia aided his election to the White House for the first time during a Twitter tirade attacking Robert Mueller. In fact, Mr Mueller made clear on Wednesday that his office could not consider charging Mr Trump because Justice Department policy prohibits indicting a sitting president. In what amounted to a series of misleading statements about Mr Mueller's probe, Mr Trump said Russia "did not help get me elected" and instead falsely claimed Hillary Clinton had colluded with Moscow. Mueller says policy protected Trump from indictment but hints at impeachment in resignation statement Pressed on his untruth that Mr Mueller could have charged him if the special counsel had found incriminating evidence, Mr Trump claimed investigators had "got nothing" and that Mr Mueller had "essentially" said he was innocent.
