Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his first public statement since the conclusion of his investigation on Wednesday, announcing his official resignation from the U.S. Department of Justice and explaining his thoughts on the report he submitted on Russian interference and the possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.

In one striking comment, Mueller said, “if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”

Mueller did not take any questions from reporters.

NBC News reports that the White House was not “caught off guard” by the announcement, an indication the Trump administration had been notified in advance by the U.S. Department of Justice about Mueller’s remarks.
