On Principles & Values: Apologize to America for smear campaign against Trump

The release of Mueller's report thrust the case into the political arena, arming Democratic lawmakers with an array of new information to support their attacks on Trump and open possible new areas of inquiry for their own investigations. Trump and his allies, in contrast, reacted with glee. "NO COLLUSION -- NO OBSTRUCTION," the president tweeted.

Some Democrats vowed to press on with the investigations of Trump as Republicans called for them to end. "Democrats who have been running around for the last two years making outlandish claims about the president and his family ought to apologize to the American people for misleading them and the press about this smear campaign," said Representative Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana), the Republican whip. "This report. delivered a death blow to their baseless conspiracy theories."
