President Trump has often referred to Robert Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt."

The President even used those words this morning ahead of the hearings, describing Mueller's investigation as "the Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history, by far!"

This afternoon, Mueller was asked if his investigation is a "witch hunt."

Here's what Mueller said:

Rep. Adam Schiff: When Donald Trump called your investigation a witch hunt, that is also false, is it not?

Mueller: I like to think so, yes.

Schiff: Your investigation is not a witch hunt, is it?

Mueller: It is not a witch hunt.
