In Robert Mueller’s first and only public remarks regarding the special counsel investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election, Mueller reiterated that the office declined to come to a conclusion about whether President Trump committed any obstruction of justice offenses.

“If we had had the confidence that the president had not clearly committed a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller announced. He once again pointed both to inconclusive evidence as well as his assertion that charging a sitting president with a crime was “prohibited” and “unconstitutional.”
