Russia investigation

Georgia congressman Rob Woodall said he also didn't read accusations against Bill Clinton in 1998.

Dean and other legal experts will testify before lawmakers about the lessons learned from special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation.

Rudy Giuliani is President Donald Trump's personal lawyer in his defense against the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.

A public testimony before Congress, Democrats argue, would better educate the American people about the cases of potential obstruction that may have gotten lost in the 448-page report and in which Mueller said he could neither exonerate nor charge the president over.

"He is basically nothing more than a political hatchet man trying to come out and say there was no obstruction of justice. All he's doing is making things up and essentially not following the law," one former federal prosecutor told Newsweek.

"Take the word impeachment away. It's a losing word," he said. "It's a 30-year-old word that does not help us."

In addition to the false claims, the president contradicted himself after publicly acknowledging—for the first time—in a tweet that "Russia help[ed] me to get elected."

"I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected," Trump wrote on Twitter Thursday.

President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani lashed out at special counsel Robert Mueller following his statement at the Justice Department reiterating his report's findings.

The actor, who plays special counsel Robert Mueller in "Saturday Night Live" sketches, called on the prosecutor to speak publicly to Congress about his report.

"These facts that he laid out are so substantially similar to the matured allegations against Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon, it's clear where he was going," Andrew Napolitano explained.

"Mr. Mueller told us a lot of what we need to hear today," the chairman said when prompted whether he would subpoena the special counsel.

"After two years, the Special Counsel is moving on with his life," Sanders' statement read. "And everyone else should do the same."

"It contains our findings and analysis, and the reasons for the decision we made. We chose these words carefully, and the words speak for itself," Mueller said.

President Donald Trump is a liar and his rhetoric is damaging America's institutions, former FBI Director James Comey wrote in a new op-ed for The Washington Post.

The White House cited a legal opinion drafted by the Justice Department that stated the former Trump official was immune from being compelled to testify.

On Saturday, Amash became the first Republican member of Congress to publicly argue that Trump engaged in impeachable conduct while in the Oval Office.

"Now, especially because of Barr, this gives me chills & terrifies me. Nothing seems inconceivable anymore," said Mimi Rocah.

Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity Democrats in Congress "are going nuts" after the Mueller report.

The recording will be distributed as a podcast.

As of Saturday, Sen. Chris Murphy said his letter to Republican leadership about Giuliani still stands.

"It was misleading, disingenuous and deceptive," former judge Andrew Napolitano wrote about William Barr's summary.

Trump Jr. told Senate investigators in 2017 that he was only "peripherally aware" of the Trump Tower Moscow project, something that Michael Cohen's testimony contradicted.

"That's like the doctor telling you, 'Well, your appendix is about to burst. It's becoming self-removable,'" Colbert quipped.

"There is no doubt about that they tried to manipulate us," Kasich said.

"I believe that the FBI is engaged in investigative activity and part of investigative activity includes surveillance activity of different shapes and sizes," Christopher Wray said during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing.

More than 375 former government workers and appointees said that only Donald Trump's being president saved him from being charged with obstruction of justice.

"Nobody was picking this up outside this network, virtually."

White House special counsel Emmet Flood wrote a letter of complaint about the "political" Mueller report to Attorney General William Barr after it was made public.

"My primary interest is to pursue justice," Harris said. "And you can call that whatever name you want."
