“Tomorrow, Mueller should be suspended and honest people should be brought in, impartial people to investigate these people like Strzok,” Giuliani stated. “Strzok should be in jail by the end of next week.”
The White House has since attempted to use the report to further discredit Mueller’s investigation. In a press conference, the president claimed that as a result of “the IG report, [he has] been totally exonerated” of any foul play during his election.
