President Trump had some choice words following Special Counsel’s Robert Mueller resignation, and some of those words may have admitted guilt.
On Thursday, Trump committed a possible Freudian slip, tweeting that he himself had “nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”
Speaking to reporters shortly after, he rephrased that a message a little more carefully, saying “Russia did not help me get elected. I helped me get elected. Russia had nothing to do with it at all.”
Trump also took the opportunity to attack Mueller, calling him a “true never-Trumper”.
The affront comes a day after Mueller commented about his investigation into Russian interference the 2016 election. The former special counsel said Wednesday that if his investigative team “had confidence that [Trump] clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” and that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
Many, especially Democrats, have taken Mueller’s comment as code that the report’s findings provide grounds for impeachment. An active president cannot be charged with a federal crime while serving in office, making impeachment the only path for removing Trump from the White House.
Trump retains that Mueller and his report were biased due to a “business dispute” the two had many years ago, calling him “conflicted”.
