>> savannah, i think you put your finger on it right there.ourse of the last month and a half has tried to basically make that case. that this is a total exoneration. well, now, very clearly from robert mueller we heard, in effect, a different story. by not charging donald trump they're not saying he didn't commit crimes, but they're not going to pursue him for the potential that he committed any crimes. which now leaves it to congress. the president in the course of the last month and a half have tweeted robert mueller's name more than 70 times. on friday he said, it would be ridiculous that mueller would testify. so, i think the white house will be happy to hear that this may be the final word from robert mueller, but certainly not the word they were hoping to hear today. my conversation with aides over the course of this day. we got the indication that the white house was notified that mueller would make a statement today. they learned about it last night. the president was notified, as well. but no indication that they knew exactly what he
