#ImpeachNow trends after Mueller testimony

Hashtags advocating impeaching President Trump trended on Twitter Wednesday evening after former special counsel Robert Mueller testified in front on Congress.

#ImpeachNow was mentioned in over 45,500 tweets, and #ImpeachmentInquiryNow was mentioned more than 47,000 times.

Mueller testified before the House Judicial and Intelligence committees on Wednesday, months after releasing his 448-page report into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

{mosads}The investigation did not establish a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia during the election, and neither implicated nor cleared Trump on the question of obstruction of justice.

The former special counsel’s testimony stuck closely to the report, and he generally declined to answer questions beyond its scope.

A total of 92 House members have expressed support for an impeachment inquiry, but Democratic leadership has been hesitant, instead asking the caucus to focus on investigations and oversight.

Trump has claimed victory following the hearing, declaring the “phony cloud” cast by the investigation had been lifted and insisted “there was no defense to this ridiculous hoax, this witch hunt.”
