Eric Trump accuses Mueller of dividing the country following public statement
On Wednesday’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, Eric Trump accused Robert Mueller of dividing the country following the former special counsel’s first public statement since the partial release of the Mueller report. In his statement, Mueller said there was insufficient evidence to bring a charge of conspiracy, and on the issue of obstruction, he was very clear that Donald Trump was not exonerated of a crime. But the first son obviously sees things differently, as he contradicted Mueller.
“I think the guy’s done a tremendous amount to divide this country,” he said. “It wouldn’t take anybody two and a half years to come up with the fact that there’s no collusion, that there’s no obstruction.”
Mueller was also very clear that investigators worked within the Department of Justice guidelines, so bringing charges against the president wasn’t an option. He went on to say that the Constitution requires a process outside the criminal justice system to take disciplinary action against a sitting president, a statement some took as a call to impeachment for Democrats, who, it just so happens, Eric Trump blames for the ongoing allegations against his father.
“All these guys will do is these clown shows,” he said, later adding, “Their candidate was supposed to win and she didn’t. She got beaten horribly badly. They had to come up with some narrative to save face.”
And despite Trump’s claim that Mueller has divided the country, the former special counsel ended his statement with an assertion that would hopefully bring every American together.
“There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election,” Mueller said, “and that allegation deserves the attention of every American.”
Lou Dobbs Tonight airs weeknights at 7 p.m. on Fox Business Network.
