Despite these claims, Mueller’s investigation did not gather enough evidence to charge the president. During Mueller’s testimony last week, he also affirmed that Trump did not interfere with the Russia probe.
Since the end of the Mueller investigation, Democrats have taken their reasons for supporting impeachment in a new direction. Many progressives stated that Trump obstructed justice during the probe; they also expressed interest in launching their own investigations into the president’s personal and financial dealings.
Trump has denied claims of collusion and obstruction of justice many times. During the Russia probe, the president also referred to it as a “witch hunt,” citing political motivations as the true reasons behind the probe.
In light of Mueller’s recent testimony, the president has continued to weigh in on this matter via Twitter:
“One of the biggest things to come out of Mueller’s testimony was the fact that when he was asked, was there ANYTHING that impeded your investigation, the answer was a clear, unequivocal, NO.” Misty Marris @FoxNews True, but many other great “exonerating” things came out…..

….Robert Mueller’s testimony, and the Mueller Report itself, was a disaster for this illegal Democrat inspired Witch Hunt. It is an embarrassment to the USA that they don’t know how to stop. They can’t help themselves, they are totally lost, they are Clowns!
