Donald Trump was not exonerated of obstructing investigation into Russian meddling in elections, Robert Mueller tells US Congress

Firstpost  

Robert Mueller denied Wednesday that Donald Trump had been exonerated of obstructing his two-year investigation into Russian election meddling but – in his first testimony before Congress on the probe – he again declined to accuse the US president of a crime Washington: Robert Mueller denied Wednesday that Donald Trump had been exonerated of obstructing his two-year investigation into Russian election meddling but — in his first testimony before Congress on the probe — he again declined to accuse the US president of a crime. In their questioning, Democrats detailed multiple instances from the report where Trump’s actions in 2017, including seeking to fire Mueller himself, appeared to meet the standard for obstruction of justice charges. Mueller’s evasiveness and curt answers seemed likely to thwart efforts by Democrats to further tar Trump’s political reputation/ Moreover, Mueller’s own image as a hard-headed, disciplined prosecutor suffered when he appeared to not recall some parts of the investigation and details from the voluminous report. “‘Mueller was asked whether or not the investigation was impeded in any way, and he said no,’” Trump tweeted, citing a Fox News host.
