It was a fairly significant week this week. Trump tweeted a xenophobic video linking congresswoman Ilhan Omar to 9/11, then he issued the second veto of his presidency blocking a resolution to end US involvement in Yemen. But the most significant development came at the end of the week with the release of the Mueller report. The report strong hinted at collusion and suggested congress investigate. Likewise, the report found that Trump had attempted to obstruct the investigation, and only failed because his own subordinates refused to obey him.
