Trump claims victory in wake of Mueller testimony

CNN  

Washington CNN — President Donald Trump emerged from the White House Wednesday afternoon and walked triumphantly toward television cameras to declare Robert Mueller’s testimony on Capitol Hill delivered a “very good day” for him and Republicans. “Expect more of the same in the second half.” And Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh claimed Democrats “took a big swing at it today and whiffed completely.” Video Ad Feedback Mueller: Report doesn't say that it exonerates Trump 02:23 - Source: CNN Trump began firing off the string of tweets early Wednesday morning, pre-butting Mueller’s impending testimony on Capitol Hill. Trump also maintained that Mueller should have investigated “himself” and a slew of the President’s political opponents and critics, including his former rival for the presidency Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey and others. And he again described Mueller’s investigation as “the Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history, by far!” The President also suggested that Mueller applied and interviewed for the position of FBI director the day before he was tapped to serve as special counsel, a contention that is disputed in the Mueller report, including by the President’s chief strategist at the time Steve Bannon, who told investigators that the meeting was to “offer a perspective on the institution of the FBI.” Later on Wednesday, Mueller denied that he met with Trump as a candidate for the FBI director opening. Trump stopped tweeting a dozen minutes before Mueller appeared in the House Judiciary Committee hearing room to be sworn in for his testimony, but returned to social media soon after 10 a.m. to quote Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, who claimed Mueller’s testimony “has been a disaster for the Democrats” and “a disaster” for Mueller’s reputation.
