I hope Mueller exonerates Trump

AAt least one Congressional Democrat is hoping the Special Council investigation will free President Trump.

Representative Ted Lieu entrusted CNN's Chris Cuomo with his hope for the result of Special Advocate Robert Mueller's intervention in Russia's intervention during the 2016 presidential election. .

"The best possible outcome would be that Robert Mueller finds Donald Trump completely innocent, because I do not want our president to collaborate with a foreign power," California lawmakers said on Wednesday. "Now, if the report comes out and exonerates Donald Trump, let's go ahead."

If this is not the case, said the Judicial Committee member, Congress must decide what to do, including investigating other aspects of wrongdoing, such as abuse of authority, manipulation of witnesses and the obstruction of justice.

The Democrats have pledged to strengthen the oversight of Trump and his administration, including trying to get his tax returns. Mueller has not yet released a report detailing the findings of the investigation that began in 2017 and that has so far led to the indictment of 36 people, including the president of the Trump campaign Paul Manafort, his assistant Rick Gates and longtime Trump attorney and attorney Michael Cohen. .

"Regardless of what the report of Robert Mueller shows, investigations are under way in the Southern District of New York and state attorneys general, and they will continue to ensure that all possible crimes committed by Donald Trump and his associates engaged in the subject of an investigation, "said Lieu.
