The former FBI Director summarized his key findings of his probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller is breaking his silence on the report he put together in the alleged Russian influence on the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.
Speaking in Washington, Special Counsel Mueller said Justice Department guidelines prohibited him from charging President Trump with a crime in connection with the Russia Probe.
He says it's not because his probe did or did not turn up any evidence, but because of Department of Justice (DOJ) guidelines that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
Mueller says that charging Trump with a crime was "not an option we could consider." He repeated that he would have said so if he had confidence the President did not commit an obstruction crime.
He insisted that if there was not clear evidence that the President did not commit obstruction, he would have said so.
After summarizing his key findings, Mueller formally stepped down as special counsel.
