Trump says he won’t watch Mueller testify

July 22, 2019

President Trump is welcoming the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan to the White House Monday. During their bilateral meeting, the president claimed he won’t watch former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony on Wednesday.

“I’m not going to be watching Mueller … we had a total no-collusion finding,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office, adding Democrats are “wasting their time” and Mueller has “big conflicts with me.”

“He still ruled, and I respect him for it, no collusion, no obstruction,” Mr. Trump said.

The visit with the Pakistani prime minister is an attempt to mend ties between the two countries, as the relationship has been tense. In 2017 Mr. Trump said he was putting Pakistan “on notice” for supporting the Afghan Taliban.

The visit comes as the president continues his attacks against four progressive congresswomen of color, labeling them as “racist.” Last week, the president suggested they should “go back” to their own countries.
