The president and the speaker of the House reach different conclusions after listening to Robert Mueller's testimony.
President Trump told reporters Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress disappointed Democrats who continue to grapple with whether to pursue impeaching him.
Shortly after the president spoke to reporters, however, House Democrats offered a decidedly different assessment of Mueller’s testimony. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was an “historic” day, and that the country was “crossing a threshold” in its understanding of the findings of the Mueller report.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said, “Mueller made clear that the president is not exonerated.”
