In a congressional testimony, Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller said  he had not exonerated, President Trump of obstruction of justice and defended the integrity of his inquiry under attacks by conservative Republican allies of the president.

 

The testimony reportedly left Democrats no closer to launching the impeachment process to try to remove Trump.

 

Mueller said that although their investigation did not reach a determination as to whether Trump committed a crime; a president could be charged with a crime after leaving office.
