Redacted Mueller Report News Today

So for nancy pelosi to come out with a quite consistent statement should have been expected in my view among a lot more democrats than we saw yesterday. >> no question. great to have you on. >> thanks. well, its a race to the summit, and now many climbers say the route on the worlds tallest mountain is a race for your life on the way back down. ancestry specifically showed the regions that my family was from. the state of jalisco. the city of guadalajara. the results were a reflection of our f...

Give a full-some account. >> john, you were an assistant watergate prosecutor, a former u.s. attorney. its clear mueller doesnt want to testify. a lot of people dont want to testify, but theyre compelled to or they finally feel a moral obligation for the american people. i thought michael zeldin, one of our clibters who worked for robert mueller a while ago made an interesting point yesterday. he said it might be more important for fact witnesses to testify before congress, like mcgahn, et ceter...

Impeachment and unloading like we have never seen before, having called mueller honorable when the report was first completed. the president now calls him, quote, highly conflicted and a never trumper. as for russia -- >> russia did not help me get elected. you know who got me elected? i got me elected. russia didnt help me at all. russia, if anything, i think, helped the other side. >> well, theres no evidence of that. literally, minutes earlier the president tweeted in fact i had nothing to do...

Of his report. and lets remember, robert mueller already said that in two letters to the attorney general, which we reported on, but to hear it from his mouth in front of that same podium par had spoken from, how significant is that going forward? >> well, i think its really significant for the democrats efforts to continue to put the pressure on in terms of the investigation and continue to criticize barr for his handling of the investigation. we know for some time democrats had not trusted how...

Not a nice one. he wasnt happy with what i did. and i dont blame him, but i had to do it because that was the right thing to do. but i had a business dispute. and he loved comey. you look at the relationship that those two, so whether its love or a deep like, but he should, he was conflicted. >> so a lot going on there, but lets take it one at a time. first of all, this idea that robert mueller is conflicted is something that was addressed in the mueller report, and it was an actually how one of...

The speaker making clear, no, not just for the democrats in her caucus, but for the united states senate, which would need 67 votes in a trial to convict the president, right now when its controlled by republicanser rk you dont see 20 republicans saying theyre going to join the democrats. >> phil mattingly, thank you for being on capitol hill for us this morning. lets talk more about the fallout from what we heard from mueller yesterday. the presidents reaction this morning. >> we have a team of...

We would have presented it. and in fact, they said, we cannot clear the president. i will say that i agree with gloria, in the sense that maybe congress, instead of going after the redacted portions, focus on those star witnesses. i mean, mueller says it explicitly, that the report speaks for itself. hearing that once again from him as opposed to just reading it was very powerful. so going after don mcgahn, going after hope hicks, could be a strategy for the democrats to focus on. right now, the...

Cameras after two years to highlight the central findings of his report, specifically saying he did not exonerate president trump on the crime of obstructing justice. >> if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. >> reporter: but mueller did not say the president was innocent. in the more than 400-page report or in front of the cameras today. >> we concluded that we would not reach a determination one way or the other about whether the pres...

And to avoid a subpoena. but i think there are some democrats who are going to say, we do need to subpoena you, and by the way, we also need to get don mcgahn up here and get hope hicks up here and get some other people to testify. >> nia, what do you think? do you think democrats will risk a big subpoena fight with mueller? >> you know, its interesting that you -- you know, the idea of risk, right? we saw jerry nadler today whos the chairman of the house judiciary committee. he was asked this q...

>> reporter: instead, mueller reignited the impeachment debate tonight on capitol hill, suggesting its now up to congress. >> the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing. >> reporter: while mueller himself dashed hopes of serving as their star witness. >> now, i hope and expect this to be the only time that i will speak to you in this manner. the report is my testimony. >> reporter: the 74-y...
