US President Donald Trump: 'The Democrats lost so big today.'

Mueller said during his hotly-anticipated appearance that he had not exonerated Trump of obstruction allegations, but once again declined to accuse the US president of a crime or recommend that Congress do so.

But the former FBI director denied Democrats seeking an impeachment effort their number one goal, an unequivocal statement on national television that Trump had criminally obstructed justice. The former special counsel started his testimony with a statement that suggested he might be ready to address Trump's personal attacks on him and his investigators as conducting a politically driven"witch hunt."

He answered many questions by directing lawmakers to the document, while at times appearing to forget or to be unfamiliar with details contained within.
