Despite some criticism of special counsel Robert Mueller's report taking a "cheap shot" by saying it did not exonerate President Donald Trump, the president himself issued effusive praise for it Tuesday.
"The Mueller report was great," President Trump told reporters on Capitol Hill. "It could not have been better.
"It said no obstruction, no collusion; it could not have been better."
Some pointed out the report's statement that it did exonerate the president of the obstruction of justice was a potential carrot for impeachment hopefuls.
"I don't think they're talking about impeachment," President Trump said. "Our country's in incredible shape. They and others created a fraud on our country with this ridiculous witch hunt – where it was proven very strongly no collusion, no obstruction, no nothing.
"We are at a time of prosperity like this. It's been great."
