Trump Dodges Reporters’ Questions About Mueller

The Hill reports:



President Trump on Thursday surprised reporters in Washington by failing to speak at length about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, a document he has framed as a clear vindication.

One day before the report’s release, Trump teased the possibility of staging his own press conference about the Russia probe after Attorney General William Barr’s, telling WMAL Radio “maybe I’ll do one after that. We’ll see.”

But Trump did not stage a formal news conference, nor did he come over to address a massive scrum of reporters gathered on the South Lawn to witness his departure on Marine One en route to Palm Beach, Fla., as he often does. He also did not speak to reporters at Joint Base Andrews before boarding Air Force One for his Easter weekend getaway.
