Russia investigation

"The Trump investigation did not start with the FISA warrant and Carter Page and even the dossier," Wallace said.

The attorney general said that Mueller's report is nearly 400 pages long, leaving Democrats to question the accuracy of his four-page principal conclusions and how he could have reached them in less than 48 hours.

In his first comment since Attorney General William Barr released his summary of Mueller's report on Sunday, Jared Kushner defended his previous statements and urged Congress to "move on."

Congress continues to scrutinize Russian efforts to influence the U.S., even after the Mueller report was submitted.

Those defending President Donald Trump and attacking John Brennan are playing politics with the Mueller report, says a spokesman for the former CIA director.

"He...has a brilliant mind. We should be celebrating him," wrote one Twitter user.

"This whole thing is a manufactured coup because they could not accept the results of the 2016 election, and they're continuing it," Limbaugh said.

Although special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation has ended, President Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign remain at the center of five other probes from House Democrats, and one from the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Senator Lindsey Graham said, "This whole Oliver Stone approach to the Mueller report by Democrats is getting a bid old."

For much of the past two years, a constellation of Republicans worked to get rid of Trump. Their mission now is infinitely harder, if not impossible.

"We would like to read the report in full," a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.

Putting politics ahead of national security is a what brought us here in the first place.

"A high-level source tells me it was Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report," Senator Rand Paul wrote in a Twitter post on Wednesday night.

"Do it right now. Do it right now on Twitter!" Fox News guest Michael Caputo said.

The hearing was held less than one week after special counsel Robert Mueller issued his report on potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

In the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, President Donald Trump's oldest son declined to rule out a future in politics.

"I'll tell you this about Russia — if they had anything on me, it would have come out a long time ago. Probably a long time before I ran because they would have been better off, much better off. I hope we really get along well with them but they would have been much better off with Hillary Clinton as president," Trump told Sean Hannity on Wednesday.

Former FBI Director James Comey questioned why special counsel Robert Mueller did not subpoena President Donald Trump during his nearly two-year investigation.

"The investigation had to happen. It would have been irresponsible not to investigate," Comey said. "And we don't investigate, despite what the partisans say, to find a particular result. We investigate to find out what's true, and as best I can tell, it looks like Bob Mueller was allowed to do that, and that's a great thing."

"The attorney general has opened up a can of worms," Fox News judicial analyst and former judge Andrew Napolitano said.

"There's been so much disinformation and misunderstanding about who George Papadopoulos is," the former Trump aide told CNN.

"I think that Bob Mueller realized that these were just people who were naive," Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for Trump's legal team, told ABC News podcast "The Investigation."

Former White House intern's comment refers to independent counsel Kenneth Starr's report, which described President Bill Clinton's affair with Lewinsky in graphic detail.

"This is not about the Mueller report," "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said.

The former Trump campaign adviser said he was treated "excellent" while serving 12 days at a federal prison in Wisconsin.

President Donald Trump reportedly described the special counsel's probe as "two years of bulls***."

"Sater not only met with Ilyas Khrapunov in Trump Tower to discuss laundering the stolen funds, but he also personally arranged meetings between Ilyas and Donald J. Trump to discuss possible investments," BTA Bank alleged.

"Mueller went along with the Department of Justice's policy that he felt that he was really duty bound to," his former assistant Michael Zeldin said.

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's lawyer, said the president "is not focused on that and it's not going to happen."

"He couldn't make the key decision," Giuliani said of special counsel Robert Mueller. "His hands were shaking."
