'It is a shame our country had to go through this,' Trump said. 'It is a shame your president had to go through this – before I even got elected, it began, and it began illegally.”
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump claimed vindication from a summary made public Sunday of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"It is a shame our country had to go through this," Trump said."It is a shame your president had to go through this – before I even got elected, it began, and it began illegally.”He also posted on Twitter that there was"No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION." "While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him" on whether he obstructed justice, Mueller said in the report, according to Barr's four-page summary.— Donald J. Trump March 24, 2019 While Mueller's report appeared to lift a cloud that has hung over the White House for years regarding the issue of collusion, it opened the door to a politically fraught examination by Congress over whether he attempted to obstruct justice.
The president, who spent the weekend at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, remained unusually muted as he awaited the findings of the report. He relaxed Saturday by golfing with Kid Rock. On Sunday, he golfed again – this time with South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
