US President DonaldTrump took a victory lap on Capitol Hill even as Democrats demanded the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's full report.
Washington — President Donald Trump took a victory lap on Capitol Hill Tuesday, emboldened by the end of the government's Russia probe even as Democrats demanded the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's full report and intensified their focus on policy issues.
"Let's just get the goods," Pelosi said, according to an aide in the room granted anonymity to discuss the private caucus meeting. The challenges for Democrats come as Trump has made clear he's fired up to go on offence against those who propelled the narrative that he colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
Trump's trip to Capitol Hill comes right after his administration said late Monday it would not defend the Affordable Care Act in a court challenge — and as the House Democrats, led by Pelosi, were unveiling a sweeping measure to rescue the program, also known as "Obamacare." "The president is saying he's been completely and totally exonerated by the report. The one sentence we've seen from the report says this is not an exoneration of the president."
