Mueller On Russian Election Interference: 'They're Doing It As We Sit Here' Enlarge this image toggle caption Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Updated at 4:56 p.m. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, told Mueller that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a prosecutor by writing that he could neither charge Trump nor "exonerate him" — because exoneration is not a prosecutor's job, Ratcliffe said. Trump pivoted that talking point slightly on Wednesday — Mueller "didn't have a right to 'exonerate,' " Trump said, picking up the thread from Ratcliffe — and said Democrats "all knew it was phony stuff." The president said he wasn't concerned about the prospect of an indictment after he's out of office, as Mueller said might be possible, "because nothing was done wrong." The president had said he wasn't planning to tune in to see Mueller — and then also said, "Maybe I'll see a little bit of it."
