Trump calls Mueller a "true never Trumper" and falsely denies Russia helped his campaign
One day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller's public statement that his report did not exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice, President Trump attacked Mueller on the White House South Lawn and on Twitter. He called Mueller a 'true never Trumper' who led a biased investigation, falsely claimed Mueller wanted the FBI director job but was rejected by Trump, and insisted that he could not be impeached because 'there was no crime.' Trump also falsely stated that Russia did not help him get elected, contradicting the Mueller report's findings.
