Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., urged Americans to focus on the "damning evidence of misconduct by President Trump" presented in Robert Mueller's report, in the wake of the former special counsel's appearance on Capitol Hill this week.
While others claimed the hearing was a “huge disappointment” for Democrats, Cicilline countered the remarks by holding in consideration the information presented in the Mueller report.
“I don’t think anyone should’ve expected Mr. Mueller to speak outside of the confines of the report, I surely didn’t,” the Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee said Thursday on Outnumbered.
“What he did say is that his investigation began because there was a broad and systematic attack on our democracy by the Russians. That it was not a witch hunt, it was not a hoax, and he did not exonerate the president.”
