Robert Mueller Finally Speaks!
Robert Mueller finally addressed his report on Wednesday afternoon. While he spoke in lots of legalese, but he definitely didn't exonerate Trump in his role of the election hacking of 2016. A lot of Democrats who were on the fence about impeachment will start calling for it. We talk to Alan Pyke from ThinkProgress, radio commentator Alan Pyke and Hanna Trudo from the Daily Beast!
