Republicans upbeat, Democrats muted after Mueller testimony MuellerReport MuellerHearings
WASHINGTON - United States President Donald Trump called former special counsel Robert Mueller's testimony before Congress on Wednesday a"disaster" for the Democrats and a big day for Republicans, while Democrat leaders said they would continue to investigate Mr Trump for wrongdoing.
The President also called the probe into the Trump campaign's alleged links with Russian agents a"phony cloud", although Mr Mueller made clear that Russian interference had not been a hoax and the investigation had not been a witch hunt. "I think Democrats hoped that this hearing would be a launching-off point for impeachment. It looked more like the death rattle for impeachment to us," Republican Matt Gaetz of Florida told reporters after the hearing.
Ms Pelosi called the hearings"historic" and said:"It is a crossing of the threshold in terms of public awareness in terms of what happened and whether it conforms to the law, or not."
