Mueller's testimony didn't exonerate Trump from obstruction charges: Mueller confirmed that his report did not exonerate Trump from obstruction of justice charges and the DOJ policy allows for prosecution once a President leaves office.
Robert Mueller's testimony before Congress clarified that his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election did not exonerate President Trump from the possibility of obstruction of justice charges. Despite the President's claims to the contrary, Mueller confirmed that his report did not exonerate Trump and that the Department of Justice policy allows for prosecution of a sitting President once they leave office.

During Robert Mueller's testimony before Congress, the Democrats and Republicans had vastly different objectives. The Democrats aimed to extract damning soundbites that could potentially end President Trump's tenure, but Mueller repeatedly declined to oblige. The Republicans, on the other hand, sought to portray Mueller as incompetent, inconsistent, and biased, bringing up his friendships with individuals who were critical of Trump. Despite the 7-hour hearing, no new information was revealed, as Mueller had previously warned that he would not disclose anything beyond what was already in the report. The hearing became a contentious exchange, with Mueller frequently referring the members of Congress to his report for answers they were seeking. Ultimately, the hearing did not provide any new insights into the Mueller report or the Trump-Russia investigation.
