Today Special Counsel Robert Mueller broke his years-long silence about his report. He said there was Russian interference in the 2016 election, but insufficient evidence of a broad conspiracy with the Trump campaign. Mueller emphasized that his report does not clear the president of obstruction of justice.
His comments come amid a continued and increasingly aggressive push by House Democrats to have him publicly testify. While not directly addressing that desire, Mueller said this, "There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress. Any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report.”
