Robert Mueller: Russia investigation was not a 'witch hunt'

Robert Mueller defended the credibility of the 22 months he and his team spent investigating Russian election interference and possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.

Mueller, 74, was given the opportunity to push back on Trump's attacks on the special counsel's integrity during an appearance before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday. The president has often decried the inquiry as a politically biased "witch hunt" meant to undermine his presidency.

"When Trump called your investigation a witch hunt, was that false?" House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff asked.

"I'd like to think so, yes," Mueller said.

"Your investigation was not a witch hunt, correct?" the California Democrat pressed.

"It is not a witch hunt," the former FBI director replied.
