Robert Mueller told the House Judiciary Committee that President Trump was not “totally exonerated” by the special counsel’s report on Russian election interference, as he has frequently claimed.
Nadler later asked if it was true that "under Department of Justice policy, the president could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice crimes after he leaves office."From the early days of Mueller's appointment, Trump had railed against the special counsel, his team and its probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, possible obstruction of justice by Trump and possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
"No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!" the president tweeted. But Nadler, who began the hearing Wednesday morning by lauding Mueller for his integrity, continued in his line of questioning about the probe's conclusions themselves. Mueller said that "the finding indicates that the president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed."
