President Trump has spent another day at his Florida golf course, appearing carefree but remaining silent on Twitter after special counsel Robert Mueller filed his final report.
Trump, who is spending the weekend at Mar-a-lago, spent about five hours at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Upon leaving the club shortly after 2pm, he was spotted smiling and waving to supporters who lined the motorcade route.
A White House official said that Trump was golfing with three partners, but declined to name them or say whether Trump had been discussing his thoughts about the Mueller report on the links.
Trump has remained uncharacteristically silent in the wake of the news, not tweeting once since word broke that Mueller had concluded his probe.
His silence has led some Trump critics to suspect that Mueller has uncovered incriminating information, but Trump’s supporters insist that the lack of new indictments is vindication for the president.
Trump’s motorcade on Saturday morning was the first public sighting of the president since word of the Mueller report broke.
The White House confirmed that Trump has still not been briefed on the contents of the report.
Attorney General Bill Barr’s summary of the report to Congress is now expected to be delivered no sooner than Sunday, an official said.
On Friday, a senior Justice Department official said that Mueller will file no more indictments with federal courts, meaning the president, his inner circle of present and former confidants and his family members are out of immediate legal jeopardy.
Trump had already arrived at his Florida retreat on Friday afternoon when Barr revealed that he had received the report.
The president learned of the development as he sat on the tiled patio at Mar-a-lago with the first lady and their son Barron.
Later, he appeared on stage at an fundraiser for the Palm Beach Republicans in the club’s ballroom, but did not mention the Mueller report in his remarks, according to the network.
At the event, Senator Lindsey Graham called up the FBI to investigate Hillary Clinton, sparking chants of ‘lock her up!’
Trump has no public events scheduled until he departs Mar-a-Lago to return to the White House on Sunday afternoon.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Mueller might have referred additional investigations to the Justice Department.
All told, Mueller charged 34 people, including the president’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and three Russian companies.
Twenty-five Russians were indicted on charges related to election interference, accused either of hacking Democratic email accounts during the campaign or of orchestrating a social media campaign that spread disinformation on the internet.
Five Trump aides pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with Mueller and a sixth, longtime confidant Roger Stone, is awaiting trial on charges that he lied to Congress and engaged in witness tampering.
