Special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress Wednesday reveals “troubling deficiencies” in his investigation of Russian efforts to help President Donald Trump win the 2016 election, Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow said Wednesday.
“This morning’s testimony exposed the troubling deficiencies of the Special Counsel’s investigation," Sekulow said in a statement.
"The testimony revealed that this probe was conducted by a small group of politically-biased prosecutors who, as hard as they tried, were unable to establish either obstruction, conspiracy, or collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia," he said. "It is also clear that the Special Counsel conducted his two-year investigation unimpeded."
Mueller during the testimony said his investigation did not clear Trump of obstruction and also discussed what he called Moscow’s “sweeping and systematic” meddling in the election.
"Over the course of my career, I’ve seen a number of challenges to our democracy. The Russian government's effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious," he said.
The special counsel also agreed that it was “correct” to say that Trump tried to protect himself by asking staff to falsify records relevant to an ongoing investigation.
"I would say that's generally the summary," Mueller said.
Sekulow also said Mueller’s testimony proves that “this case is closed.”
"The American people understand that this issue is over," Sekulow concluded. "They also understand that the case is closed.”
