Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen speculated on Friday that President Trump could face better odds at expanding his support base after Special Counsel Robert Mueller effectively ended his investigation into Russian meddling and potential obstruction of justice. Thiessen, who also served as former President George W. Bush's chief speechwriter, indicated that the investigation's end released Trump from intense criticism that nudged him toward coalescing around his base. He was referring to Trump's tweet calling for Democrats and Republicans to "come together" after the Mueller investigation. "But now Republicans and Democrats must come together for the good of the American people," Trump tweeted on Friday. Although Trump might be ready to move on, congressional Democrats have indicated they will continue pursuing issues related to Mueller's investigation.
