Special Counsel Robert Mueller broke his almost two-year vow of silence Wednesday to say that he couldn’t reach a conclusion on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice, but his remarks mostly echoed his voluminous written report and left almost everyone disappointed.
Mueller made clear that he’s not willing to testify to Congress about any details from his investigation into Russian election meddling that weren’t already in the 448-page report, potentially depriving Democrats of additional damaging information about the president.
