Eyes turned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday as former special counsel Robert Mueller appeared in front of members of Congress. Mueller testified to both Democrats and Republics about his report that determined Russia interfered with the 2016 election but President Trump was not involved. Local political expert Rob Alexander weighed in on the hearings saying we didn't actually learn many new things. Mueller declined to comment on many questions, rarely straying from his report.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on his investigation into Russian collusion was released to the public today.

His findings were previously released that he found no evidence that President Trump or his campaign had colluded with Russian officials during the 2016 election.

In the 400 page report, it stated Trump's response upon the announcement of the investigation and Mueller portrayed the president as 'rattled.'
