PHOENIX — Arizona political figures responded Wednesday to special counsel Robert Mueller's first public statement on his investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 election.
Mueller said he was resigning from the Department of Justice to return to private life and closing the special counsel office as the investigation has concluded.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller's reiteration Wednesday that he did not clear or accuse President Donald Trump of obstruction of justice — and that it was Congress' call to make — did not shake Arizona's congressional delegation from its partisan corners.
Some Arizona Republicans claimed vindication — much like the president himself — and blamed Democrats for prolonging discussion about the two-year probe for political purposes.
