Special counsel Robert Mueller finally spoke out publicly on Wednesday, weeks after finishing the Russia investigation and releasing his report — with redactions — to the public.

He addressed both volumes of his report, particularly the concerns about whether they considered charging Donald Trump with obstruction.

Mueller reiterated that if they were confident the president did not commit a crime they would have said so, but they didn’t.

“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller said. “We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. The introduction to the volume two of our report explains that decision.”

He emphasized that because of long-standing Justice Department policy, the president cannot be charged with a crime, and so “charging the president with a crime was therefore an option we could not consider.”

Mueller also addressed Russian interference and how there was not enough evidence to charge a broader conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Trump quickly responded and said, “Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you.”

There was “insufficient evidence” of my crimes strikes me as a less than ideal platform to run on https://t.co/eGtxfh6N9W
