Sarah Sanders slams Mueller testimony: Investigation will ‘forever be a dark chapter’

.

Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders criticized former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Mueller testified about his two-year long investigation, which determined that neither the president nor any member of his campaign knowingly conspired with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. Despite that, the report laid out multiple examples in which the president could have committed obstruction of justice even though Mueller did not make a decision on the matter, citing a Department of Justice guideline.

In response to the hearing, Sanders tweeted, “Didn’t take long for Mueller to once again vindicate President @realDonaldTrump. No collusion. No obstruction. And now Mueller all but admits it was all along a total witch hunt,” along with a video of Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, questioning Mueller.

Despite her tweet, Mueller specifically said that the report did not exonerate Trump from charges of obstruction of justice.

Sanders followed up her initial tweet with another saying, “What’s been clear to all but the liberal media is this was a partisan investigation run by Democrats out to destroy @realDonaldTrump with Mueller as the figurehead. Thank you House Democrats for calling today’s hearing and exposing the truth for all Americans to see.”

“The Mueller investigation will forever be a dark chapter in our nation’s history but in the end @realDonaldTrump triumphed over the anti-democratic forces seeking to frame him, overturn the results of the 2016 election, and deny the will of the American people,” she added.
