The White House says it’s time to move on after two years special counsel Robert Mueller breaks the silence about the Russia investigation, but White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says there was no new information. “There was no real news in there. He reiterated the points that he’d already made in the report, and we agree with them. There was no collusion. There was no conspiracy. We consider this case closed.” Mueller said he didn’t have the option of charging President Trump with obstruction because of Justice Department policy. “It explains that under longstanding department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional.” With that statement, even more Democratic presidential candidates are calling for impeachment. Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, many other top candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination are calling for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
