The "Morning Joe" co-host, a frequent Trump critic, changed his Twitter bio to quote Mueller, who said Wednesday that Justice Department guidance prohibited his team from charging Trump with a crime.

"Charging the president with a crime was not an option we could consider," Mueller said.

Mueller's public remarks Wednesday confirmed that the special counsel's office had not determined that the president was innocent of committing obstruction of justice, and had acted under long-standing Justice Department policy that dictates a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime.

“After that investigation, if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller said Wednesday at the Justice Department.

The move was seen as a public rebuke of Trump and the White House's claims that the special counsel investigation into the president's 2016 campaign and Russia's election interference had exonerated Trump of wrongdoing.

Trump repeated those claims in a tweet following Mueller's remarks Wednesday, claiming that Mueller had stated that there was "insufficient evidence" to bring charges.

“Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you,” he tweeted.
