President Donald Trump: to impeach or not to impeach?

Special counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday that charging President Trump with a crime was ‘‘not an option’’ because of federal rules, but he used his first public remarks on the Russia investigation to emphasize that he did not exonerate the president.

The special counsel’s remarks stood as a pointed rebuttal to Trump’s repeated claims that he was cleared and that the two-year inquiry was merely a ‘‘witch hunt.’’

Just one day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller announced his resignation from the Department of Justice and the formal closing of the Russia probe, President Trump slammed the longtime DOJ official, saying he "should have never been chosen" to lead the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The president later claimed Mueller was part of the "Never Trump" movement of Republicans in 2016 and lambasted him for not investigating former FBI Director Comey as well as former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe.

His comments come after Mueller, in his first public statement about his Russia probe, did not explicitly exonerate the president from wrongdoing related to the nearly two-year long investigation, and instead explained why his office never considered indicting him for obstruction of justice.
