President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani lashed out at special counsel Robert Mueller following his statement at the Justice Department reiterating his report’s findings.
President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani blasted special counsel Robert Mueller for his statement, accusing the prosecutor of political bias and calling for an investigation by the inspector general.
In particular, Mueller, a former FBI director, emphasized that his report did not exonerate Trump of obstruction but that he could not indict a sitting president, per Justice Department policy, as it is unconstitutional. “A declination by any other name is a declination,” Giuliani tweeted. “Mueller’s statement just repeated his report there is no case, collusion or obstruction. Despite DOJ policy on charging, he used over 430 pages and a brief press statement to reach that result. No case!!!”
Mueller took no questions following his statement and insisted that he has nothing further to add to his report, even if called before Congress to testify.
