WASHINGTON - For United States President Donald Trump, it may have been the best day of his tenure so far.
While critics will still argue about whether Mr Trump tried to obstruct justice, the president quickly claimed vindication and Republican allies pounced on their Democratic colleagues for what they called an unrelenting partisan campaign against him. The end of Mr Mueller's inquiry also left Democrats on the defensive and will force them to decide how vigorously to continue pursuing allegations of misconduct by the president and his allies, including many that were unexamined by the special counsel, whose mandate was limited to Russia's interference in the election and any possible obstruction of justice resulting from it.
Mr William Barr, the attorney general recently appointed by Mr Trump after drafting a private memo expressing doubt that the president could be accused of obstructing justice for exercising his constitutional power, concluded on Sunday that they did not. Still, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already said that she did not favour impeachment unless the evidence was"so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan," a standard that seems even less likely to be met now.
